Youtube toxic curse - 'includes paid promotion'

Loads of content producers are doing this now - especially people who aren't professionals but do have quite a large 'fanbase'. Sickens me to see 'includes paid promotion' and I usually won't watch the video regardless of what it is.

YouTube/Google created this when they decided to regulate what content got monitized. It seems like everything related to fireams yes even the legal side got add revenue struck conservative leaning news got struck completely down. Hell even car stuff got hit with it.

@Ozuye502 Everyone has jumped onto the monetisation bandwagon now. Not just 'paid promotions' either. Some youtube channels have massive viewership and that leads to massive payouts to the content creators. Ads are just a way for people without massive viewership to make more money outside of the youtube realm itself. Google, facebook, etc. all depend themselves on ad revenue to be profitable and that's another angle.
