I genuinely feel most of them are Microsoft bots.

You have to spell no in ASCII.
Because youtubers make products with love. /s
%100 agree.
As I stated in the other post, I have no problem with merch segments in the video or description.
But the difference is taking screen real estate is not acceptable. And the cherry on top, I didn’t even subscribed to this channel.
If I want to support a creator, I’ll spend time to find them on pateron or find their merch. But shoving that in my face in every video is different.
No, I genuinely liked features that others hated such as AI summary. Do whatever you want but gimme that disable option.
YouTube has done many good things and I see their platform is a god sent at least for me. But ads is where I draw the line.
I feel they’re planning to reduce creators share of revenue and compensate them with promoting their merch.
I am here for a submarine video not for the channel. If I want to support the creator, I can go to Patreon.
I am fine if creators use the description section, but this giant section that I cannot hide, which is made by YouTube, make the difference.
Your argument is like you drink Pepsi why are you upset if you see an ad from Pepsi.
I smell tipping culture here.
Well, I am fine if I can disable it, however I don’t believe it can be disabled.
I don’t care where the ad is coming from. To me if it’s not related to the video then it’s an ad.
I am OK with self promoting in the video, but taking real estate of my screen to show merch is advertisement.
Well, I understand where are you coming from but this is not related to the video so still an ad.
I’m not even following this channel.
Also, no option to disable it afaik.
Yes, they exceeded Ukraine civilian casualties now. /s
Shame on every leader who stood there doing nothing but support killing of civilians.
