Not an ad. This is literally just like linking the fanshop (say lttstore or gamersnexus shop) in the description.
Rather it should be an option to disable shopping but I doubt google would do the work after integrating it.
this is an ad.
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.
I mean it is related to the creator and therefore to the video. An option to disable it would be nice, but I dont think this is as bad as watching actual ads
It's literally an ad
Considering how every single video description is already one giant ad these days, maybe the creators need to chill with their ads.
it's an ad.
I'd argue it is related to the video, because the channel who is selling the merch also made the video you are watching.
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.
the ad is related to the video. it is also an ad.
If you don't sub to gamersnexus but look in the description and see the first line is their shop link.
Is it then an ad?
Advertisement:
I'm not sure if a link can be considered an announcement, but otherwise based on the definition I would say it's a gray area and could be argued either way.
Although I would tend to say it isn't an advertisement but a link to one.
Except one is a separate box, has images and is visible whenever (usually hidden due to the description being collapsed) Over all it just takes up extra space, is stuffed in my face and advertises a product
