You won't need a pool vacuum when you're swimming in your pool of sponsorship money, Scrooge McDuck style.

I am happy that you put in that last part, because I was just gonna mention that not everyone is in such a luxury position. As long as people are transparent about it, I have no issues with it. But yeah, I can totally imagine that after a while it becomes a bit laughable.😅

They want a picture of your pool before they send anything, then they want to review the video before it goes live, but they want the whole thing up "around February 5th" Even worse, this company is probably blasting the same shit to people up here where it's fucking winter. You know, when nobody is going to be able to actually use this thing for the next few months

@Zappyguy111 6 месяцев назад

I reckon they're trying to get mind space before spring starts to warm up the north side. That way people buy these things as soon as the pools thaw out, and probably have them break before you're even ready to swim.

@trapperjohn7571 6 месяцев назад

It's entirely possible they're wanting to get advertising out before people have water in their pools, but given how this is a third party company that's been hired to advertise this, I'm thinking they've spent about as much time learning about the product they've been hired to advertise as they have solving the mystery of the eevblog guy's name

I have a RU-vid channel with just over 4k subs about 3D printing (not this one). Even I get many of these emails a day, usually from the same domain, trying to send me free cat toys, laptop/phone accesories and the occassional 3D printing related thing. It's bad enough that I end up missing emails from legit companies I want to work with. I'm just a tiny part-time RU-vidr so I can't even imagine how bad it is for big channels.

There are companies that happily pay 10k for a 2 minute chunk in a video. Technicly it's better and cheaper then paying google adsense as you can target a specific audience.

@Rob2 6 месяцев назад

Well, it took them only 4 days after your pool robot video, but you might as well reason that they were at least 4 days late. You have been posting videos about the pool construction for quite some time, so all the time they could have realized that at some point you would want to buy a pool robot and they could make you post a video that does not have "sponsored" so thickly written on it...

@gr4eme1975 6 месяцев назад

Come on Dave I think you need a dedicated channel to just doing sponsor videos to see how much you can make

@CBitsTech 6 месяцев назад

Lol, "a hopeless businessman". Yep, but honest. You cannot trust ANY paid promotion on RU-vid unless the RU-vidr has previously paid for, and used, and continues to use, the product. Your oscilloscope's company should pay you to showcase their new or other products because you have credibility from past non-paid reviews, but they probably won't because they know they'll get the product recommendation for free. Sad, but true.

I stopped watching TV, i would long have stopped watching YT too without this well working ghostery extension. Would be hard because of all that music history sitting here - best museum, mankind has invented. But imagine that with every song interrupted three times plus 2 ads in between titles. Would drive anybody insane. IDK, where this is going. Worked piece time for years - it just wears you out to the bone - same destiny for full time youtubers. That's not a healthy lifestyle.

@Bellicosy 6 месяцев назад

Hi Dave, you say that you turn down or remove all sponsorship deals, even before reading them, so how is it that you are so aware of what the typical format is? Have you been in a position once where you had to consider offers, have you sometimes read them for fun, or simply by accident and you have built up an idea of their content, etc?

@EEVblog2 6 месяцев назад

90% of them are just spam from the likes of amazon resllers who want you to plug their store by reviewing a novelty gadget. Some other are obviously more serious and it's obvious from the email title, and those I open as it's often not clear if they want a sponsorship or want to pay for website/forum advertising which I do offer. If it's personalised with a Hey Dave then I always respond. Often I have entered into correspondance with companies out of interest, just to learn this stuff. Sometimes they will give you price up front in the first email. Rinse and repeat for 14 years, and I have a good idea of what it's about. Same thing with the MCN's, I enter into correspondance with them just to find out what the deal is, and I never had any intention of taking it.

I'm just a beginner in this - I received some free items by doing some video reviews. But I was clear: my video is made with my style, my words and all my swearing, occasional rant and funny sounds. They agreed, so I was totally free. I liked the products and I'm still using them. Never saw a penny btw, - I hope to see some in future because I'm really in need LOL. My channel is little but growing. Please note that I do YT videos because I have a lot of fun :)

I live in Florida, USA where most (or at least many) homes have pools. I don't think I've ever seen an in-ground pool that didn't have a curve between the wall and floor. Who has any idea what the angle of that curvature is? That requirement is just in there as a copout in case of a bad review.

@Psi105 6 месяцев назад

Take their pool robot and in turn give them a shoddy review of a robot full of used pinball machine parts.

@SeanBZA 6 месяцев назад

Yes, they love the video, huge fans, because the AI runs through the YT recent uploads, and looks for keywords, and then refers to the appropriate advertiser wanting keyword search. Then the wanting comparasion means they want you to slag the competition, and say the sponsor is the best, because of any reason, and then they want the review to be honest (lie about our junk being best), review because they want to be sure the ad result was positive, and then want it up for a year to run it on their website as an embedded ad in the reviews, though the review itself is guaranteed to be a sock puppet written by them.

@StuartM0TTQAmateurRadio 6 месяцев назад

@tlhIngan 6 месяцев назад

Actually sposnsorships should pay a lot more than 4 digits. 5 figures is the usual goal - given the effort I would probably only take this one for $25,000 or more. The LTT group (Linus Tech Tips) would be one where they do content to fit the sponsors - sponsor whores basically - which shows you what happens when you go the other way. But hey, it lets you build, furnish and outfit a brand new house worth millions of dollars with no out of pocket spending. You just have to be happy making low quality content.

not a fan of products that feel its necessary to offer to pay for reviews/adds like this. there are entire categories of products like solar generators and e-bikes that are dominated by sponsored ads/reviews, with very few honest reviews, and that dont even include that the main 2 online retailers always pad there "reviews" with at least 50% compensated reviews you cant really trust anyone now
