I'm fine with these kinds of content creators flogging their wares, but this is a bit much.
Alec over at Technology Connections can make a genuinely interesting video, full of completely relevant content, and stick in a quick 2 minute 'buy my socks' bit. It's unobtrusive, honest, and works.
This cunt makes a 9 minute video of him fucking about on his bike, peppered with shots of his webstore, whilst monologuing about shady monetisation pratices in promotional campaigns, and tops it off with a 'buy my MTB accessories' message at the end.
The whole video is a fucking ad.
I do love the production value of F9's work, but i've see two too many of these types of videos from him now. It's grabby as fuck.

There's a great plugin called sponsorblock that automatically skips past all the self-promotion and shilling in YouTube videos. I wonder what it would make of this one.
