Among the channels or podcasts I follow that do sponsored blocks, some occasionally promote interesting services I haven’t heard about before, some (well, let’s be frank, there’s probably only one in the world that really hits it home: Map Men) can do even the most basic generic VPNs in a manner that can be equally or more entertaining than the rest of the video, making one literally wait to see the entire ad (even when it is at the very end), some do big but informative sponsored sections where the presenter interviews the business.



true, if the sponsorship is done well, then i will gladly watch it, even if i don't care about the product.

i also love creators who timestamp their videos including the sponsorship block so that you can very easily skip it. or if they put a colorful border around the video while the sponsorship so that you can see when the ad ends when skimming through the video.
