    For those who are on a more current version of unity, the main node "Sprite Unlit Master" has been replaced by "Vertex" and "Fragment". So for this effect to work, just connect A(1) of "MainTex / Sample Texture 2D" to Alpha(1) of "Fragment", and connect Out(4) of "Add" to Base Color(3) of " Fragment". Hope this helps :)

    If you can't see the "Alpha" in "Fragment", click on "Base Color" of "Fragment", click on "Graph Settings" in Graph Inspector, and then set "Surface Type" to "Transparent".

    The problem with long tutorial series like this is that I don't think they get as many views after the first 1 or 2 videos, because a lot of people will start it, then give up. So in terms of monetizing etc, it's probably not as good a moneymaker as random little videos like this. It's a shame because I'd love more tutorial series too.

    I've been using unity for like 5 years and for the life of me no matter what i read i couldn't figure out 'bloom', i managed to follow along and instead of 2d sprites i managed to get it working for 3d objects, because the principle is pretty much the same and MY GOD its finally up and running, its amazing what a little bit of glow can do for the visuals of a game 10/10 for this tutorial!!!!!

    If your sprite is still showing as a blank square even after following every step, you just need to connect the alpha (A(1)), from the Sample Texture 2D of the MainTex(T2), to the alpha(1) from the Fragment section (below Base Color(3)). Seems like in lastest versions of Unity they changed the Sprite Unlit Master, so there are some differences.

    For anyone else that was running into the issue where the entire sprite would start glowing instead of just the emission node, I think I found a solution. Instead of linking the multiply node Out(4) directly into the add node, link it into a new multiply node alongside the A(1) from the emission sample texture. You should be able to see your emission texture with the color you've assigned now, and then you can plug the Out(4) into the add node and things should work as expected.
