Advertisements

Advertisements on YouTube usually appear right before, at the end, or during a video of a monetized channels about 50% of the time. Some examples are games from Supercell, random PS4 games, seasonal commercials, YouTube Premium and Game of War, and sometimes average commercials are shown on TV. These companies pay YouTube to sponsor them to help their business get stronger since YouTube is a busy site. However, not much money for the companies have been made, but instead, the ads have been heavily criticized by many users, as they think YouTube cares more about money than their viewers and the lack of ad moderation. They are shown according to the viewer's location, the video, or a recent search on Google.
