YouTube video ads and sponsors.

You don't actually need any money at all to make and post a video on YouTube. It's FREE to post a YouTube video. I know this as a fact. I've posted 4 videos. I've taken them down, but they were absolutely free to post. I have some friends who post YouTube vids all the time and it's free for them to.
The only thing is that you need to get a good following, the more people that follow you, the more views you'll get. However, if you bribe YouTube by giving them money, they will advertise your videos more and post it on more peoples suggested videos and stuff. Other than that, I don't know why anyone thinks they need even one penny to make a YouTube video! Everyone wants to take advantage of people, rip us off and make people pay more money for things they didn't have to pay anything for before! It needs to stop! People don't very much money and we can't keep paying extra for everything! It's bulls**t!
Now, employers aren't paying much, they are too greedy! Airlines take advantage of us with baggage fees. Pizza delivery companies want to charge delivery fees and delivery insurance. YouTube wastes our time showing commercials before and after videos or we have to pay $120 a year to watch YouTube with no ads. Come on, YouTube used to be FREE and have no ads at all! WTF!
There are a lot of really good YouTube videos out there, but, it's FREE to make and post a YouTube video! You don't need to charge anything nor do you need a sponsor to post a video! But, at the end or beginning of the video, some people spend about Three to Five minutes talking about their sponsor! Nobody pays attention to that! NOBODY!
Why don't you just wear a hat or shirt with your sponsors name on it? We will see the name of your sponsor and that's good enough! We are sick and tired of all the ads and people talking about their sponsor in the videos! We don't care! Most of us don't even pay attention to that bull s**t anymore anyway! We either skip ad, fast forward through it completely or wait it out and completely ignore it! We look away from the screen of our computer or cellphone during any and all advertisements, we take off our headphones, turn the volume down or whatever we have to do to tune out and ignore those stupid, waste of time ads!
I'm just saying, quit wasting our time and yours with all the ads and talking about your sponsors on the videos! Because people just don't care, they don't watch or listen to that junk, we are sick of it and it is really aggravating! We hate it!
Why not make use of a product from the company that sponsors you in the video. For example: If Budweiser is your sponsor, drink a can of Budweiser during the video. Show the label on the can through the whole video. Put a huge Budweiser poster on the wall in the background. Wear a hat and tee shirt that say Budweiser on them. At some point in the video, say the word: "Budweiser". Have a friend with you in the video and give them a can of Budweiser was well. Put a whole case of Budweiser on the table next to you during the entire video.
A lot of TV Producers have been talking about advertising their sponsors like this for years, they just haven't done it yet. If they do this, they won't have to waste their time and everyone else's time by playing so many stupid, annoying commercials that nobody watches, nobody pays attention to them and nobody even cares about anymore anyway!
Just please STOP WASTING YOUR TIME AND EVERYONE ELSES TIME WITH ADVERTISEMENTS AND TALKING ABOUT YOUR SPONSORS! BECAUSE, YOU'RE WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME, NOBODY CARES, NOBODY PAYS ATTENTION TO THAT ANYWAY!
If the company sponsoring you has a jingle or song they play in their commercials, play it once or twice, quietly, in the background of your video. Whatever you have to do! It doesn't matter to me! Just quit wasting time in your videos, at the beginning or end of the video talking about your sponsor, because WE DON'T CARE! It is a waste of time and people don't pay attention to that bulls**t!
After reading this, I am willing to bet that most people who drink alcohol probably want to go drink a beer. More specifically, most of you want a Budweiser!

TV infomercials:

All infomercials are stupid! They are a waste of time and money. Everything on them is a cheap gimmick that's not worth anything. It will break probably by the third time you use it!
That's why, when I'm in a store and I see something that says: "As seen on TV on the box, I stay away from it!
I have bought three things in my entire life from Walmart that said As seen on TV on them. I thought, "Well, if they showed this on TV, it's got to be good."
I brought them home and 1st, they weren't as easy to use as they said on the box or on TV.
2. They didn't do "EXACTLY" what they promised to do. They came close, but, not exactly what they promised to do. In fact, sometimes they came barely close enough to where you wouldn't be able to sue them! The company would win the law suit if you did try to sue.
3. They broke very quickly. It will work fine the first 3 Times, but, the 4th time, it will break!
4. It is basically false advertising and they use some stupid, loud mouth idiot like Billy Mays getting people's attention and getting them excited about a piece of junk.
5. If they have to show the stupid infomercials at 0300 in the morning, when most people aren't even awake to see it anyway, you know there's something wrong with that!
It's cheaper to show things on TV after Midnight, especially at 3:00 AM, when very few people are going to see it anyway.
6. When they show stupid, cheap things on TV on a dumb infomercial, that ruins things for anything good that someone may show on TV.
Yes, there a lot of good things in this world. But, with the bad reputation that infomercials have, I don't care what they put on an infomercial, I don't trust it at all and I won't buy it!
Those infomercials have a paradoxical affect on things. They show something on there to get people to trust it, make us think that it will be something good and convince us that we actually NEED this piece of junk that they are advertising. But, when we see it on a TV, infomercial, we actually have less trust in the product! Just because it was advertised on an infomercial with a loud mouth like Willy Maze trying to sell it!
7. They have a bunch of "Customers" who have bought the product that is being advertised and they are all saying it works really well and they love it!
You don't know anything about the people on there. Maybe they did try the product out and maybe they did like it, but, maybe they didn't like it and they are just saying they liked it.
Maybe they haven't tried this thing out at all. They might even be paid actors!
Think of it this way: If I offer to pay you $25,000 or  $500,000 you will get on TV and say anything I want you to say! If you know nothing about something I want to sell or if you tried it but did not like it, you will still get on TV, radio, newspapers and anywhere else I hire you to go and you will say anything I want you to say, just so you will get the money!
I would probably do it to, if someone paid me enough money.
8. Most of this stuff looks like it could be made out of good quality materials, but, they are only charging $19.99.
If it were made out of good quality materials that would last a long time, they would be charging three or even ten times more than what they want for it.
9. They often say, "If you call within the next Ten minutes, we'll double the offer, you won't get one, but, Two of these stupid things at no extra charge! You just pay the shipping.
When they double the order for "FREE", they still have to get the money for the second item that they give you for free somehow.
Now, you are actually paying $10.00 each for these things. It probably costs the company $1.00 to make this piece of junk! If they pay the company advertising it $1.00 for each one they sell, they are still making $18.00 on each one if they don't give the customer an extra one free. $8.00 on the ones People bought "within the next Ten minutes". Because, they gave them a freebie.
If they want you to buy something in a hurry, in the next Ten minutes, for example, that doesn't give you enough time to think about it before you buy. If they want you to just buy something really fast, it's probably a scam!

When you see something advertised like this on TV, they will always try to make it sound too good to be true. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is not as good as people say it is!
Think before you buy something you see on TV, newspapers or the Internet!
Never buy something directly off a TV infomercial!
Ask a few trusted friends or relatives about things you see on TV. More than like, someone you know, knows someone that knows someone else who has bought it already. They can give you an honest review on the product.
Read some online reviews or check with the Better Business Bureau, Ripoorepott.com and Attorney General's office for complaints about the product, the company that makes it and the person advertising it before you buy the product.
The things I bought that said: "As seen on TV" on them, I didn't buy them from the company advertising them on TV, I don't even watch those infomercials. I found them at Walmart. I was able to open the box and look at the items first. Otherwise I would of never bought them in the first place.
If you have a bad feeling about something you see on TV or anywhere else, trust your instincts and either don't buy it at all or at least investigate it first!
