Depends on the ad. If it's related and something that you would use and recommend then I will suffer through it. But if it's a crap mobile game or a certain VPN, or the like then I will skip it.

I have no problem with sponsors, but in my opinion it needs to be something you personally have tested, used, and can trust. We watch you cause we trust your opinions. As such we trust that what you sponsor has been properly vetted.

@Dajagwar Well dude, you just saved me a lot of typing by saying just what I was thinking.

James, as an insurance agent, I am so happy that you didn't cave to this guys request. I have heard it all during the past 26 years as an agent. People will do anything to get money by any means possible. Your integrity will guarantee all your future success! Stay well!

There are a lot of people like this around, in my area there was an unofficial blacklist of the twisters, non payers and "while you're here" merchants. It always surprised me how many "upstanding, high profile, pillars of the community were on it. And what I believe you call "realtors" !

If you back a product, your viewership will automatically associate the product or service you are promoting with your character. If the product is junk, we will feel betrayed bc your strength of character and your honesty are some of the qualities we love most about you (along with your empathy and compassion for others). If you back a product, make sure you use it and are honest about it. As long as those two things are consistent, your fan base is only going to grow. ❤ you're an inspiration, Mister James.

Not everyone is like you though. A large number of us could give two shits less what a content creator promotes and would never be talked into buying something from a content creators advice. They are simply entertainment. Not like they are family. They can promote whatever the hell they want. If they are making more money to better themselves then good for them.

This entire video was about trust and integrity. If you can bring trust and integrity to the products you are advertising, then by all means make it happen. As long as you realize that your trust is on the line.

I personally hate most sponsor sections, so I really love when creators put a little timer or time stamp saying "here is where sponsored content ends." It's a little nod to the fact that viewers don't really appreciate more ads than we already have thrown at us. That said, as long as you would truly recommend a product and it isn't just to get a wad of cash for some product you know nothing about, go for it and make those deals. I understand content creators wanting to make a little extra scratch.

I also agree that your belief or confidence in whatever product you're endorsing is nice. However, I also understand that famous people endorsing a product doesn't necessarily mean they use or believe in said product. It can be just a paycheck for them. You do you.

As a new business owner that started this year, i appreciate the advice at the end about taking pictures and all. Thanks.

I grew up in the 80s. It was expected that there would be commercials in the shows we watched. "Here is a word from our sponsors" is not a crime and it allows for the creator to publish more content. Everyone talks about how we need to support our favourite authors or artists or webcomics, and this is just another way for us to show our support. I do agree with many of the people who mention that it should be something that you, yourself, are willing to attach your name to and stake your reputation on.

I appreciate you asking for our opinion regarding sponsorship. Personally if the product is something you know and trust then your opinion would be valuable, if its something your new to then being upfront about it and willing to put it to the test and keep us updated would also be fine. Your videos are always entertaining and I'm confident that any sponsored segment in a video would also somehow be entertaining, go ahead and cash in on your hard work 😊

Some people just have no moral code. On the ad question, I am not opposed to anyone making extra money. I typically just skip the ads anyway, you do you have a wonderful day love the stories keep them coming.

Not bothered to be honest more interested in your content. Love the stories and look forward to your next video. I could never work with the public, hospitals or schools. Glad to see your sense of humour and good common sense carries through your work. Thanks for your time…..

Since you asked, here's my two cents on the sponsors/ads you're being offered; I have seen amazing ads in sponsored segments from creators who were given the freedom to morph the ad into something that sounds genuinely their style. When IDidAThing does an ad read, it's not *just* "Hey guys, I'm being sponsored, check this out", he starts with an amazing segue that makes it nearly unnoticable that I *started* watching an ad, and then he follows up with engaging scenarios where he has a problem and benefits from the sponsor's product. Throughout the whole thing, it's just as entertaining as the rest of his video, and I've never seen but maybe a few content creators meet that level of creative engagement in their ads. If you can fit them into your style, make it sound *incredibly* natural to talk about this product, and maintain the same energy through the ad as the rest of your video, I think that will be your best case scenario. As for anything less engaging, I have come to tolerate ad reads. If I am present at the controls when an uninspired ad read starts, I will skip it, but it doesn't turn me off from the rest of the video. That said, I say do what you want! I like your content enough that I can tolerate a few ads.

If you use the products fine. People starting a new service business and new home owners can learn a lot about each other from your videos. PLUS your continuing education and certifications are a great thing to inspire young and old alike to keep learning! I hope school systems use your videos. The way you tell a story with valuable information and do it so it is not boring. 😅

When the creator stops the storyline to do an ad, I usually skip through it. When the product ad is integrated into the storyline, I watch it.

Regarding your question about sponsorship: I am sure there are many of us paying extra for KZread Premium so that commercials can be avoided altogether. In fact, KZread recently increased the fee for Premium. I avoid channels that include sponsors for the very reason described above. I am glad you asked for viewer input.

I pay for premium so I don't have to deal with ads, they frustrate me so much. That being said, it doesn't keep me from watching videos by people I enjoy and respect. As long as it's a product you actually like, I'll continue to support you either way

The ads for promotional products won't be a skippable ad. He would have to interject his video at some point to promote thr product and ad a link in thr video description

Regarding ads: no problem with you and your business benefitting from them being in videos. If you want to maintain your professionalism on your social media, consider only doing ads for companies you support. Some guys that did some show on myths or something once said that integrity is a coin that you only get to spend once.

What a story! Your supervisor is one smart cookie. Yes, committing fraud and see who you can screw seems to be modus operandi of everyone out there. Sad. You are a totally intelligent guy. Keep them coming!

I love that you'd be able to make more money, I don't mind the ads because I'm able to fast forward through it. Typically I watch the first ten seconds to see if it's something I care about, if not then I skip on through.

I like how attorney Steven Lehto does ads, for the very few he's done, it's been for products he's used and enjoyed, and he dictates the terms that he gets to do them at the end, and that he can warn his viewers that there's an ad at the end if they want to skip after his story. Overall, though, I don't mind creators getting a piece of the action, but there are quite a few famous advertised products that dip into the shady end of things, and sometimes it's hard to tell until a lot of creators have already worked with them. As others are saying, I think most of us trust you to be selective, and then be truthful about the product to your best knowledge.

Wonderful videos.Your Integrity will be tested by the people who want you to hock their wares. Nothing wrong with paying the bills. Thanks for the time and effort that you put in to deliver these!

James i really enjoy your content all the way around. Usually i skip the adds but sometimes something catches my eye. No matter what I am going to watch your video either way 😊

Lol I just fast forward through the adds for the most part, but sometimes I find something interesting and do watch it. But yeah, whatever helps pay the bills, we all have to eat! But I absolutely love your stories and want to hear more of them so whatever helps!

I love your content and hearing about how you run your business so well and so respectfully. I personally don't mind ads if it's a product you would stand behind and not just a cash grab. It's no burden to me to fast forward if it's an ad I don't personally like. Just keep your integrity like you always do.

James you should obtain sponsorship from a calculus instruction firm

My favorite creators, who also do ad reads do two things I like: 1) They only advertise products they like, use, or believe in from real life. 2) they start the video with a quick "Today's sponsor is ___, more about them at the end of the video" then present their content and their ad read is near the end with "bonus content/outakes" after that. This lets me know up front, and I can skip or end the video there. Typically I am listening while driving, working, or at the gym, so I end up listening anyway (watch time for you) but if I'm totally not interested in your sponsor, I have control.

As an insurance agent in small business, I cringed *so hard* when he immediately asked if your insurance would cover it. I was wondering what his backup "how can I make this someone else's fault" plan was. I'm always so happy when you document the hell out of things- and I'm sure your insurance company is, too! God your coverage has got to be expensive, given your business type. Keep doing what you're doing!

You're a business owner, like me. However, you are hilarious and a great storyteller. As I meet creators and talk to them about opportunities- they all say the same thing: as soon as you take money, you have a boss. The fun fades away. I listen to that perspective. I'm not you. As much as I would love to take a physics or chemistry class with you, I am not pushing 500K subs. And I get it... this is not an inexpensive venture. Cameras. Editing. Uploading. You've earned it. You should set YOUR terms. And let me know what those terms are! Because I would absolutely be a sponsor on your channel. Because it's freakin funny, entertaining and universal to all business owners! Kudos to you for being relatable to every business owner!

If you introduce your sponsored products with the same degree of informative discussion and entertaining banter as your storytelling, I will watch and your sponsors will be buying platinum level exposure.

Make your money! I can volume down or skip. You rock!

Your honesty is refreshing ! There are so many people out there just trying to scam insurance companies. That's why it is so expensive 😱🤬💩Adds are annoying but it's all about money.

You, as a creator, deserve to earn as much as you can. The more interesting and reputable ads will be viewed to support you ... not them. The useless ads will be skipped as quickly as possible. It's KZread. You gotta do what you gotta do. You've added knowledge and experience to my day and I appreciate you. Thanks.

To answer your question about adds if it’s something you use or can truly stand up and say great product then go for it. But if it’s just random products no I don’t watch those and skip those at every chance. But if you get a sponsor then great kudos to you. You deserve it. You make great content. Thanks for doing what you do.

I'm not a big ad person, but I won't stop watching your always entertaining videos just because you decide to include some ads.

I watch MANY (too many) KZread videos. Never would I have imagined that a Well and Sewer Service company would be one of my Favorites. And that is only because of YOU, Mr. Butler. As for the ads, if I see an ad that I am interested in, I watch it. But mostly, I skip right through them. Most of them are not appropriate for the type of video that they are embedded in. If you can get an advertiser who has Your morals, and is appropriate for the type of service you provide, I could imagine that I would watch them. Especially if they are Humorous.

I personally don't mind sponsored ads. I trust you to choose the right ones. What separates the annoying ads from the fun interesting ones is whether you have to go off a generic script like "Raid Shadow Legends" 🤣 or you get to do it in your own style using your own words because those are the ones that people won't skip over because it will just be additional original content.

I skip all ads, I don't watch your videos for commercials, I just like your stories. That being said, you do you.

I don't mind if you do ad reads. You're creating content, providing me with entertainment. I'm willing to tolerate the interruption knowing that it's helping you. Whether or not I actually watch the ads depends very much on who the creator is, whether or not I think they actually look into the products they are partnered with and whether the ad seems relevant to me.

Go for it. The commercial are annoying but I suffer knowing you guys get more. Your stories are great. More with you brother. God speed

My boss and I adjust the pressure switch all the time at the customer request. We also check the system pressure and never go over 60psi. We always put the pressure relief on the well and never in a location that will cause water damage.

Tastefully presented ads for products you sincerely recommend are fine. I agree with the thought that $$$ over honesty, and integrity is not worth it. Enjoyed your video.

Do it. I fast forward through the adds unless I want to watch it. Love your stories, keep it up.

I have no problem with ads so you make extra money for the information you provide. If I want to watch it I will, if not I will hit skip. Love your content.

If the ad doesn't really pertain to me or a part of my life I usually skip it otherwise I like to learn what the ad has to offer me specifically, now that said make YOUR money my dude can't knock your side hustle especially when it's bringing in extra income for you. Ty for taking the time to understand the viewers opinions of the ads on your videos. Keep up the good work man I really enjoy absolutely ALL of your content & when I get a notification sayin you uploaded a new video I genuinely get excited to see what's happening with y'all today.

You’re providing me with free entertainment, so yes, I’m fine with you making some money off your efforts. Based on all the videos you’ve posted, I think you’re a standup man who won’t advertise for anything dubious, and will put in the effort to make the ads interesting.

I'm ok with ads in videos as long as it is seamless with video itself. Get your bag. I pray that more like you are out there. You give me faith in humanity.

Finally somebody asking us for a change if we wont all these bloody commercials.

I really enjoy your content. If I need to sit through a short commercial so you get paid for this awesome content, I'm happy to do it. I also really appreciate the longer videos that you're doing. Sometimes my day is a bit crazy so this is how I decompress. Thank you!

I've actually always liked when creators do ads and reviews on stuff they actually use in the real world and trust to use and like it better when they give a true honest review telling all the good and bad of the product

I enjoy your channel’s videos. If the products you advertise are products which meet your exacting standards by all means do it and more power to you!

Great work on the topic at hand! Fortunately I haven't had to come into an issue with this as a sparky, but I've had to deal with a particular service manager trying to pull a joke on me saying a job I did caused the fire which it did not and it was a 100% fictional. On the ad topic, some ads are fine sometimes I skip them sometimes I listen to them it really depends on if it cuts the content abruptly or is too long and annoying. I find that 60 seconds at the most is tolerable

You making money off your hard work, is EXPECTED! I have no issue with you doing ad reads, those always end up better than the ads that flipping KZread pushes. If it turns out it’s an ad for something I’m not interested in, I just switch the vid to 2x speed and watch through 😂. That way you get my full watch time.

You have great storytelling, honesty, integrity, intelligence and humor. I always gain a lot of perspective after your stories. Do the ads. I'm curious and eager to see how you will integrate them. Wish you nothing but the best for you and your company!

I’m fine with ad reads as long as the creators genuinely believe in the product

Love your videos, they’re entertaining and informative. As for the paid ads, I don’t have a huge problem with that IF the products you’re recommending are actually something you would use or recommend to a family member, and not just shill for a company because they’re paying you to say nice things about them. I do trust your integrity and almost feel like that caveat doesn’t need to be said, but hey, I’ve never regretted making sure my thoughts are clearly communicated.
