We recently offshored a small project at work - thought it could be cool to send the money to Dave and have people learn. Not an ad.Just a random thought, resulted in the question.For the really curious, this is what we offshored:Quote

content: Quote from: Uncle Bob on September 03, 2023, 11:35:49 amNot really, that could mean anything.Like, do I do sponsored videos, or maybe you are asking if I would be a sponsored video for YOU?The answer is no and no.Although I did recently think about an EEVlabs channel that would pay for itself through sponsored content:https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/poll-eevlabs/

content: Note - I am not Uncle Bob...Quote from: Uncle Bob on September 03, 2023, 11:35:49 amMy prompting question was not in the titleQuote from: EEVblog on September 03, 2023, 10:55:43 pmCool idea, but not the thoughts we had. We were thinking more along a Patreon style funding for topic request. Would that ever be something EEVBlog would consider.No ads, no mention of products, companies, etc... just projects or lessons "sponsorship".Again - not asking to do so, was just wondering...

content: Quote from: jpyeron on September 04, 2023, 12:46:52 amAgain, it's not clear what you are asking for and why.Are you working for a company that wants me to review their product? Who is "we"?One thing I have learned wiht Patreon is thateveryonewants something different. You'll never get people to agree on anything ever, let alone a majority.

content: Quote from: jpyeron on September 05, 2023, 04:07:04 amIf you emailed me I could have told you. But I'll add it to my Advertising page.I get sponsored video requests almost every day.QuoteSo you want to sponsor a video? Thanks, but sorry, the answer is no.I like money, but I make enough, and my audience like that my videos aren't interrupted with "This video is sponsored by..." with the company talking points, baked into the videoforever.That forever part matters to me as the majority of my videos are evergreen content.I might have a different opinion on that if I was doing daily news topical videos or something.I've never done a sponsored video in the 14 years I've been doing this. So it'd have to be an insane amount of money, or my other sources of revenue would have to dry up.We do take sponsors on The Amp Hour podcast.QuoteOf course if you liked my content and want to just donate money, I'll gladly take itSome people have sent me large donations in the past.BTW, Patreon is basically just a donation thing. Us electronic Youtubers discuss this a lot privately, and we all get the same thing, barely 5% of Patrons will interact or watch early content etc. 95% seem to just treat it as a "I like your stuff, here have a donation".
