Oof, one of the recent SecondTry videos was basically a 20 minute advertisement for Zach’s new business, hair restoration products. I already pay for the streaming service; I expect an elevated, non-advertisement viewer experience in exchange.
Smosh developing sponsored long-form content makes sense since they are only on YT and heavily rely on advertising dollars. Plus, they do it so well; I actually enjoy watching their unhinged ads and sponsored videos because they make it funny and naturally inline with the rest of their content. I can’t get aboard with SecondTry doing it. :/
