}}<br />
'''{{Category|Music: Non-Music Section}}''' is for skipping talking and other non-music distractions in edited uploads or music videos that differ from any official music release. This category is only for music videos and videos showcasing music as their primary content.<br />
<br />
__FORCETOC__<br />
== Description ==<br />
This applies to:<br />
* Official / unofficial music videos<br />
* Remixes<br />
* Mashups<br />
* Covers<br />
* Concerts<br />
* Recordings of live music performances<br />
* Clips of songs from film, tv, etc.<br />
* Music videos for comedy songs.<br />
** Not comedy skits that merely contain music.<br />
<br />
== Exceptions / edge cases ==<br />
With all segments placed correctly, the video should resemble the track found on music services or any other mix version, while reducing stretches of complete silence after or before songs.<br />
* Applause should be cut as much as is practical.<br />
* Non-music may cover any visuals if needed, including content warnings.<ref>[https://discord.com/channels/603643120093233162/603643180663177220/881954619679440947 Discord message]</ref><br />
* Non-music exists detached from other categories, meaning it can overlap with segments of other categories. <br />
** Other categories such as {{Category|intros}} and {{Category|endcards}} should still be submitted on music videos, but they must not cut any music. <br />
** If all non-music segments are correctly placed and you have a different segment that is not also covered by a non-music segment, it is definitely wrong.<br />
* If music continues playing in the background while other things are happening, it should not be cut.<br />
* Absolute silence before and after a song may be cut, but only when '''nothing''' can be heard from the video. Boost your audio to make this type of cut accurately.<br />
** Do not skip during audio fade-in/fade-out transitions.<br />
** If the original mix features silence or talking in the middle of the song, it should not be cut.<br />
<br />
This category does '''not''' apply to:<br />
* Music uploads that are already identical to the original mix.<br />
* Dialogue and visual scenes in full-length musicals and short films.<br />
* Rhythm game gameplay.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page compiles some tips on how to make your submissions better.<br />
<br />
# Find the rough start of the segue to the segment you want to create. You must include the segue or transition.<br />
# When there is a visible transition and a small margin of error, don’t try to get it right with play/pause. Pause the video and use the <code><,</code> and <code>>.</code> keys to move frame-by-frame. Segments should start '''''before''''' the visual change (or a little earlier if needed for audio) and end on the '''''first frame after''''' the segment. It's best to start it at the earliest point that doesn't include content to account for any lag in skipping. <br />
# Find the end of the segment and do the same thing as with the start of the segment, but place the end on the first frame '''''after''''' the end of whatever you are skipping.<br />
# Preview the segment to make sure it skips seamlessly. You should not have any frame flashes, audio blips, or cut words. If you do, adjust the timings and preview again.<br />
# If you have multiple segments next to each other, make sure their ends overlap slightly. This should happen by default if you followed the steps above.<br />
For more specific advice, scroll down.<br />
<br />
== User interface ==<br />
SponsorBlock's user interface and its functions are explained in [[Creating_segments]].<br />
<br />
It is also good to be familiar with [https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7631406 YouTube's native keybinds]. The ones most relevant for SponsorBlock are the <code><,</code> and <code>>.</code> keys to move backward/forward one frame while paused, along with the left and right arrow keys to move backwards/forwards 5 seconds, the <code>J</code> and <code>L</code> keys to move backward/forward 10 seconds, and <code>K</code> to pause the video.<br />
<br />
== Clean cuts ==<br />
When there is a visible transition and a small margin of error, don’t try to get it right with play/pause. Pause the video and use the <code><,</code> and <code>>.</code> keys to move frame-by-frame. Segments should start '''before''' the visual change (or a little earlier if needed for audio) and end on the '''first frame after''' the segment. It's best to start it at the earliest point that doesn't include content to account for any lag in skipping. <br />
<br />
== Essentials only ==<br />
Make sure not to include any content that should not be included in the segment. Use <code>Inspect</code> to check that the segment does not start too early. The end of a segment should be placed on the first frame '''after''' whatever you are trying to skip. Use <code>Preview</code> to make sure you do not cut anything off. This is especially important for {{Category|non-music|text=“non-music”}} segments, where it is easy to accidentally cut into a fade-out.<br />
<br />
== Overlap adjacent segments ==<br />
Segments of different categories that are right next to each other should slightly overlap. The reason for this is that '''every segment should be correct and seamless on its own''' and make sense from a perspective of a user with only one category enabled. If you follow the advice in the [[#Clean cuts|clean cuts]] section to start a segment before a visual change and end on the first frame of the section after, then you will naturally end up with the necessary overlap. Segments that end and begin at the same time will skip fine when all are auto-skipped together, but one of the two segments might not skip smoothly on its own.<br />
<br />
== Don't submit each segment individually ==<br />
If you are creating multiple segments, submit all segments at once after you have figured out all of the timings.<br />
<br />
== Working around incorrect segments ==<br />
If you come across an incorrect segment and want to submit your own to correct it, instead of simply downvoting it, you can click the [[File:Icon pencil.svg|16px|link=|alt=pencil icon]] pencil icon and then use <code>Copy and downvote</code> to copy the timings into your segment editing menu.<br />
<br />
== Activate all categories ==<br />
A segment might have already been submitted as another category. Seeing this is a reminder to make sure you did indeed choose the correct category.<br />
<br />
== Music videos ==<br />
Increase your volume or boost your audio with a browser extension to cut fade-outs. The video can only be cut at the video's framerate, but music can be cut more precisely. Set the video speed to 25% and adjust the times that appear after pressing <code>Edit</code> in the popup, to achieve more precise cuts.<br />
<br />
== Premieres, live streams, and duration changes ==<br />
<br />
Don't create segments during a livestream or premiere. The video's duration will change after it ends, resulting in incorrect segments. <br />
<br />
After a livestream or premiere ends, it enters a mode called “post-live manifestless” while YouTube processes it. Do not submit segments while the video is in “post-live manifestless” mode. During this time, it appears to be a regular video, but the duration will still change after it finishes processing, which takes several minutes depending on the length of the stream. You can check for this by right-clicking the video, opening “Stats for nerds”, and looking for the line <code>'''Live mode''': Post-live, manifestless</code>. <br />
<br />
Sometimes, even a regular video's length may change, since YouTube has a feature for channels to cut out sections of an uploaded video. SponsorBlock segments are automatically deleted after the length of a video changes, but the check is only triggered when a segment is voted on or when a new submission is made. If you notice a video where this was the case, vote on a segment or create a segment and delete it to trigger this process.<br />
<br />
== Use transcript to find sponsors ==<br />
[[File:Transcript new.png|thumb|This shows where to open a YouTube video's transcript]]<br />
A quick way to find a sponsor is to look for it in the description, then open the video transcript and press <code>Ctrl + F</code> and search for the sponsor. You can find the transcript button at the bottom of the video description. This also works for other keywords like "subscribe," "bell," or "like button".<br />
<br />
== Technical limitations ==<br />
Vanced always skips later than the actual start time of a segment for battery saving reasons.<br />
<br />
== Fade transitions ==<br />
For transitions that fade to/from black, it can be helpful to temporarily increasing your gamma to help you see exactly when the transition starts/ends. For Nvidia users, open Nvidia Control Panel > Display > Adjust desktop color settings. For AMD users, open Catalyst Control Center > Desktop Management > Desktop Color. Alternatively, on Windows, search for "dccw" in the start menu to open Display Color Calibration. Create a shortcut for "dccw.exe" for easier access. <br />

|title=This is an aggressive category.<br />
|text=This category will skip any segments that are not present in the official audio release, '''including warnings for flashing lights, NSFW, and similar'''.<br />
}}<br />
'''{{Category|Music: Non-Music Section}}''' is for skipping talking bits and other non-music distractions in edited uploads or music videos that differ from any official music release. This category is only for music videos and videos showcasing music as their primary contents.<br />
<br />
__FORCETOC__<br />
== Description ==<br />
In the end, the video should resemble the track found on music services or any other mix version, while reducing stretches of complete silence after or before songs.<br />
* Non-music may cover any visuals if needed, including content warnings.<ref>[https://discord.com/channels/603643120093233162/603643180663177220/881954619679440947 Discord message]</ref><br />
* Non-music exists detached from other categories, meaning it can overlap with segments of other categories. <br />
** Other categories such as {{Category|Intros}} and {{Category|endcards}} should still be submitted on music videos, but they must not skip any music. <br />
** If all non-music segments are correctly placed and you have a different segment that is not also covered by a non-music segment, it is definitely wrong.<br />
<br />
== Exceptions / edge cases ==<br />
* If music continues playing in the background, it should not be skipped.<br />
* Absolute silence before and after a song can be skipped, but only when '''nothing''' can be heard from the video. Boost your audio to make this type of cut accurately.<br />
** Do not skip during audio fade-in/fade-out transitions.<br />
** If the original mix features silence or talking in the middle of the song, it should not be skipped.<br />
<br />
This category is '''not''' for:<br />
* Dialogue and visual scenes in full-length musicals and short films.<br />
* Rhythm game gameplay.<br />
<br />
To create extra accurate segments, refer to the [[Advice_for_submitting#Music_Videos|advice for submitting]].<br />

<hr />
<div>'''{{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}}''' is for promotions for which the YouTuber will not receive payment. This also includes the segues used to smoothly transition into and out of the segment. If this is an obvious brief reminder or information, it should be under {{Category|Interaction Reminder (Subscribe)}} instead.<br />
__FORCETOC__<br />
== Description ==<br />
This includes:<br />
* Merchandise<br />
* Patreon, Channel Memberships, Twitch Subscriptions or any similar monetized platforms<br />
** This includes scrolling lists of financial supporters (Patreon, GitHub Sponsors etc..)<br />
* Videos or playlists<br />
* Charities, products or websites they like<br />
* Information about whom they collaborated with<br />
* Shout-outs with no money exchanged<br />
* Giveaways with no involvement of a 3rd party and the announcement of the winner<br />
** No money exchanged<br />
** Content YouTuber should have full control<br />
** Products should be purchased by the YouTuber<br />
* Asking for paid/free services from their subscribers (fanmail, video clips)<br />
** [[Mute_Segment|Mute]] the segment if it would cover content.<br />
<br />
== Exceptions / Edge Cases ==<br />
The decision on whether it should be marked sponsor or unpaid promotion is influenced by several factors.<br />
<br />
'''For example:'''<br />
# Did they receive money as well as the product? If so, then it should be marked {{Category|Sponsor}}.<br />
# Are they obviously linked with the product they are promoting? If so, then it should be marked {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}}.<br />
# Does the product they are promoting have their branding, similar to merch? If so, then it should be marked {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}}.<br />
If it is '''impossible''' to cleanly cut or overlap the segments, {{Category|Interaction Reminders}} can be included in {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}}.<br />

[[Category:Segment categories]]</div>Jiraphhttps://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/index.php?title=Advice_for_submitting&diff=4508Advice for submitting2026-01-12T23:09:42Z<p>Jiraph: Updated, fixed grammar, cleaned up, reorganized.</p>
<hr />
<div>This page compiles some tips on how to make your submissions better. Let us begin with 5 easy steps to a good submissions:<br />
<br />
# Find the rough start of the segue to the segment you want to create. You must include the segue or transition.<br />
# When there is a visible transition and a small margin of error, don’t try to get it right with play/pause. Pause the video and use the <code><,</code> and <code>>.</code> keys to move frame-by-frame. Segments should start '''''before''''' the visual change (or a little earlier if needed for audio) and end on the '''''first frame after''''' the segment. It's best to start it at the earliest point that doesn't include content to account for any lag in skipping. <br />
# Find the end of the segment and do the same thing as with the start of the segment, but place the end on the first frame '''''after''''' the end of whatever you are skipping.<br />
# Preview the segment to make sure it skips seamlessly. You should not have any frame flashes, audio blips, or cut words. If you do, adjust the timings and preview again.<br />
# If you have multiple segments next to each other, make sure their ends overlap slightly. This should happen by default if you followed the steps above.<br />
For more specific advice, scroll down.<br />
<br />
== User interface ==<br />
SponsorBlock's user interface and its functions are explained [[Creating_Segments |in this article]].<br />
<br />
It is also good to be familiar with YouTube's native keybinds, which are listed on [https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7631406 this page]. The ones most relevant for SponsorBlock are the <code><,</code> and <code>>.</code> keys to move backward/forward one frame while paused, along with the left & right arrow keys to move backwards/forwards 5 seconds, the <code>J</code> and <code>L</code> keys to move backward/forward 10 seconds, and <code>K</code> to pause the video.<br />
<br />
== Clean cuts ==<br />
When there is a visible transition and a small margin of error, don’t try to get it right with play/pause. Pause the video and use the <code><,</code> and <code>>.</code> keys to move frame-by-frame. Segments should start '''''before''''' the visual change (or a little earlier if needed for audio) and end on the '''''first frame after''''' the segment. It's best to start it at the earliest point that doesn't include content to account for any lag in skipping. <br />
<br />
== Essentials only ==<br />
Make sure not to include any content that should not be included in the segment. Use <u><code>Inspect</code></u> To check that the segment does not start too early. The end of a segment should be placed on the first frame '''''after''''' whatever you are trying to skip. Use <u><code>Preview</code></u> to make sure you do not cut anything off. This is especially important for "non-music" segments, where it is easy to accidentally cut into a fade-out.<br />
<br />
== Overlap adjacent segments ==<br />
Segments of different categories that are right next to each other should slightly overlap. The reason for this is that '''every segment should be correct and seamless on its own''' and make sense from a perspective of a user with only one category enabled. If you follow the advice in the ''Clean cuts'' section to start a segment before a visual change and end on the first frame of the section after, then you will naturally end up with the necessary overlap. Segments that end and begin at the same time will skip fine when all are auto-skipped together, but one of the two segments might not skip smoothly on its own.<br />
<br />
== Don't submit each segment individually ==<br />
If you are creating multiple segments, submit all segments at once after you have figured out all of the timings.<br />
<br />
== Working around incorrect segments ==<br />
If you come across an incorrect segment and want to submit your own to correct it, instead of simply downvoting it, you can click the pencil icon and then click <code><u>Copy and downvote</u></code> to copy the timings into your segment editing menu.<br />
<br />
== Activate all categories ==<br />
A segment might have already been submitted as another category. Seeing this is a reminder to make sure you did indeed choose the correct category.<br />
<br />
== Music videos ==<br />
Increase your volume or boost your audio with a browser extension to cut fade-outs. The video can only be cut at the video's framerate, but music can be cut more precisely. Set the video speed to 25% and adjust the times that appear after pressing "Edit" in the popup, to achieve more precise cuts.<br />
<br />
Don't create segments during a livestream or premiere. The video's duration will change after it ends, resulting in incorrect segments. <br />
<br />
After a livestream or premiere ends, it enters a mode called "Post-live Manifestless" while YouTube processes it. Do not submit segments while the video is in "Post-live Manifestless" mode. During this time, it appears to be a regular video, but the duration will still change after it finishes processing, which takes several minutes depending on the length of the stream. You can check for this by right-clicking the video, opening "Stats for nerds," and looking for the line <code>'''Live Mode''': Post-live, Manifestless</code>. <br />
<br />
Sometimes, even a regular video's length may change, since YouTube has a feature for creators to cut out sections of an uploaded video. SponsorBlock segments are automatically deleted after the length of a video changes, but the check is only triggered when a segment is voted on or when a new submission is made. If you notice a video where this was the case, vote on a segment or create a segment and delete it to trigger this process.<br />
<br />
== Use transcript to find sponsors ==<br />
[[File:Transcript new.png|thumb|This shows where to open a YouTube video's transcript]]<br />
A quick way to find a sponsor is to look for it in the description, then open the video transcript and press <code>Ctrl + F</code> and search for the sponsor. You can find the transcript button at the bottom of the video description. This also works for other keywords like "subscribe," "bell," or "like button".<br />
<br />
== Technical limitations ==<br />
Vanced always skips later than the actual start time of a segment for battery saving reasons.<br />
<br />
== Fade transitions ==<br />
For transitions that fade to/from black, it can be helpful to temporarily increasing your gamma to help you see exactly when the transition starts/ends. For Nvidia users, open Nvidia Control Panel > Display > Adjust desktop color settings. For AMD users, open Catalyst Control Center > Desktop Management > Desktop Color. Alternatively, on Windows, search for "dccw" in the start menu to open Display Color Calibration. Create a shortcut for "dccw.exe" for easier access. <br />

* Fake/joke sponsor spots are skipped with {{Category|Tangents/Jokes}} even if they are real companies.<br />
* If the whole video is about (or closely related to) the sponsor, or if the sponsor is too tightly integrated into the video to remove cleanly:<br />
# Don't make a segment covering the entire video.<br />
# Submit a [[Full Video Labels|full video label]] using the Sponsor category.<br />
# Leave the [[Disclosure|disclosure]] of sponsorship unskipped, so viewers are aware of any potential bias.<br />
# Any parts that can be cleanly skipped while leaving the main content/storyline of the video intact should still be skipped.<br />
* Sponsor should take precedence over all other categories.<br />
** Sometimes a sponsored section continues into the endcards. If a clean cut is possible, skip only the sponsored section and make a separate {{Category|Endcards/Credits}} segment for the remaining endcards, otherwise skip the entire endcards with {{Category|Sponsor}}.<br />
* If the product stands in no obvious relation to the YouTuber, mark it {{Category|Sponsor}}.<br />
* If the product bears the company's branding as prominently as the YouTuber's, mark it {{Category|Sponsor}}. (YouTooz, G-Fuel, GamerSupps)<br />
* For videos that use YouTube's collab feature, if any linked collaborator was sponsored, even if the channel that uploaded the video wasn't, mark as {{Category|Sponsor}}.<br />
<br />
* '''If the segment more closely matches the criteria for {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}}, it should be marked as such instead of {{Category|Sponsor}}.'''<br />

<hr />
<div><noinclude>{{Included|target=Sponsor}}</noinclude>This includes:<br />
* Paid advertisement of a product or service.<br />
* Advertisement of a product received for free.<br />
* Giveaway of items which are provided by a third party, and the announcement of the winner.<br />
* Advertisement of [[Referral Links|affiliate links]].<br />
<!-- Including every product for which a link just exists would be too excessive --><br />
* Segues into a YouTube ad.</div>Jiraphhttps://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/index.php?title=Full_Video_Labels&diff=4470Full Video Labels2025-11-13T19:38:45Z<p>Jiraph: Clarified the effect of affiliate links on label category</p>
<hr />
<div>'''Full video labels''' are used if the entire video is based around or features the promotion and removing mentions would remove the majority of the video. Only {{Category|Sponsor}}, {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}},<br />
and {{Category|Exclusive Access}} can be submitted this way. Full video labels should ''not'' be used on every video or channel which is sponsored.<br />
<br />
Even when a video is labelled as such, the parts that '''can be cleanly skipped''' should still be skipped, but the [[disclosure]]<ref>Disclosure is when a video mentions that an entire video is sponsored by some company, and includes any descriptions of how this has affected the video</ref> should still be left intact.<br />
<br />
Only one label is shown on a video at a time. The priority of the labels is:<br />
# {{Category|Sponsor}}<br />
# {{Category|Exclusive Access}}<br />
# {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promo}}<br />
<br />
== Submitting full video labels ==<br />
# Select any point on the video and start a segment.<br />
# Select one of the applicable categories.<br />
# In the type dropdown with Skip / Mute, select "Full Video"<br />
<br />
== Sponsor ==<br />
The {{Category|Sponsor}} label should only be used when the creator has been '''paid in money''' to advertise something shown in the video that cannot be completely removed by cuts or the topic of the video was decided by a paying party.<br />
<br />
This should not be used when a creator is given a free product from a company, unless the creator also receives kickback via an [[Referral_links|affiliate link]].<br />
<br />
== Exclusive Access ==<br />
The {{Category|Exclusive Access}} label should only be used when the creator showcases a product, service or location that they've received free or subsidised access to in the video that cannot be completely removed by cuts. {{Category|Exclusive Access}} exists only as a full video label, so any skipping may be done with {{Category|Sponsor|nolink=1}} segments.<br />
<br />
If a [[Referral_links#Direct_link|direct affiliate link]] is mentioned in the video or description, then the full video label becomes {{Category|Sponsor|nolink=1}}.<br />
<br />
== Unpaid/Self Promotion ==<br />
This label follows the same rules as {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}}. It should not be used when a creator is given a free product from a company.<br />

<hr />
<div>{{Archived|updated=[[Sponsor]]}}<br />
<br />
'''{{Category|Sponsor}}''' is for paid promotions, paid referrals and direct advertisements.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
This includes:<br />
* Paid advertisement of a product or service.<br />
* Advertisement of a product received for free.<br />
* Giveaway of items which are provided by a third party, and the announcement of the winner.<br />
* Advertisement of [[Referral Links|affiliate links]].<br />
<!-- Including every product for which a link just exists would be too excessive --><br />
* Segues into a YouTube ad.<br />
* Joke sponsors which are real companies.<br />
<br />
== Exceptions/Edge Cases ==<br />
* Fake/joke sponsor spots are skipped with Sponsor if they are real companies. If it is a fake company, they are skipped with {{Category|Tangents/Jokes}}.<br />
* If the whole video is about (or closely related to) the sponsor, or if the sponsor is too tightly integrated into the video to remove cleanly:<br />
# Don't make a segment covering the entire video.<br />
# Submit a [[Full Video Labels|full video label]] using the Sponsor category.<br />
# Leave the [[Disclosure|disclosure]] of sponsorship unskipped, so viewers are aware of any potential bias.<br />
# Any parts that can be cleanly skipped while leaving the main content/storyline of the video intact should still be skipped.<br />
* Sponsor should take precedence over all other categories.<br />
** Sometimes a sponsored section continues into the endcards. If a clean cut is possible, skip only the sponsored section and make a separate {{Category|Endcards/Credits}} segment for the remaining endcards, otherwise skip the entire endcards with Sponsor.<br />
* If the product stands in no obvious relation to the YouTuber, mark it Sponsor.<br />
* If the product is advertised with the YouTuber's branding, but is still clearly a product of the company, mark it Sponsor.<br />
<br />
'''If the segment more closely matches the criteria for {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}}, it should be marked as such instead of Sponsor.'''<br />
<br />
* If they are closely linked with the product, or if the product bears their branding exclusively.<br />
* Free shout-outs for anything they like:<br />
** Other channels<br />
** Causes/charities<br />
** Websites<br />
** Products<br />
<br />
== Disambiguation ==<br />
=== Exclusive Access ===<br />
* If an [[Referral Links|affiliate link]] is added or referenced, the mention of that link is Sponsor.<br />
* If the full video label would be {{Category|Exclusive Access}}, but the link is a [[Referral_Links#Direct_link|''direct'']] affiliate link, then the full video label becomes {{Category|Sponsor}}.<br />
<br />
=== Unpaid/ Selfpromo ===<br />
* No association/affiliation with the company: {{Category|Sponsor}}<br />
* Biased investment advice (stocks, cryptocurrency, NFTs, etc.): {{Category|Sponsor}}<br />
* Custom/build-to-order products: {{Category|Sponsor}}<br />
* [[Turnkey|Turnkey/white-label]] products: {{Category|Selfpromo}}<br />
* Considerable ownership of company: {{Category|Selfpromo}}<br />
* Wholly owned company: {{Category|Selfpromo}}<br />
<br />
==== Examples ====<br />
* Branded "G-Fuel" energy drink: {{Category|Sponsor}}<br />
** If there is an affiliate link or if it is customized for the content creator.<br />
* Merch through a third party distributor (RedBubble, TeeSpring): {{Category|Selfpromo}}<br />
** RedBubble and TeeSpring are turnkey solutions for merch with limited involvement by the parent company.<br />
* Beast Burgers: {{Category|Selfpromo}}<br />
** Beast Burgers are part of a turnkey solution by Virtual Dining Concepts.<ref group="sponsor-disambiguation">https://www.virtualdiningconcepts.com/get-started/</ref><br />
* LunarClient Partners: {{Category|Sponsor}}<br />
** LunarClient cosmetics are not turnkey.<br />
* Epic Games ''Support-A-Creator'': {{Category|Sponsor}}<br />
** Content creators have no association with the brand and in their Application even states that any creator must disclose their connection.<ref group="sponsor-disambiguation">https://www.epicgames.com/affiliate/en-US/overview</ref><br />
*Makeship: {{Category|Sponsor}}<br />
**Similar to YouTooz, the platform is promoted, and the products are not [[turnkey]].<ref group="sponsor-disambiguation">https://discord.com/channels/603643120093233162/655247785561554945/957744305030701096</ref><br />
*Nebula: {{Category|Sponsor}}<br />
**While "owned by creators" and payouts are split, no creator has considerable ownership over the platform, it is owned by Standard Broadcast LLC.<ref group="sponsor-disambiguation">See dedicated page: [[Nebula]]</ref><br />

* Links directly to the brand's website or store page. The link or code is created by the company.<br />
<br />
==== Indirect link ====<br />
* Links to a generic marketplace, such as Amazon, where anyone can create an affiliate link.<br />
<br />
== Examples ==<br />
<br />
==== Referral link providers ====<br />
<br />
* geni.us (GeniusLink) - used for tracking<br />
<br />
* narrativ - used to choose the best marketplace (Amazon, Bestbuy, Newegg)<br />
<br />
* kit.co (Owned by GeniusLink) - used for lists of products with affiliate links<br />

'''{{Category|Sponsor}}''' is for paid promotions, paid referrals and direct advertisements.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
This includes:<br />
* Paid advertisement of a product or service.<br />
* Advertisement of a product received for free.<br />
* Giveaway of items which are provided by a third party, and the announcement of the winner.<br />
* Advertisement of [[Referral Links|affiliate links]].<br />
<!-- Including every product for which a link just exists would be too excessive --><br />
* Segues into a YouTube ad.<br />
* Joke sponsors which are real companies.<br />
<br />
== Exceptions/Edge Cases ==<br />
* Fake/joke sponsor spots are skipped with Sponsor if they are real companies. If it is a fake company, they are skipped with {{Category|Tangents/Jokes}}.<br />
* If the whole video is about (or closely related to) the sponsor, or if the sponsor is too tightly integrated into the video to remove cleanly:<br />
# Don't make a segment covering the entire video.<br />
# Submit a [[Full Video Labels|full video label]] using the Sponsor category.<br />
# Leave the [[Disclosure|disclosure]] of sponsorship unskipped, so viewers are aware of any potential bias.<br />
# Any parts that can be cleanly skipped while leaving the main content/storyline of the video intact should still be skipped.<br />
* Sponsor should take precedence over all other categories.<br />
** Sometimes a sponsored section continues into the endcards. If a clean cut is possible, skip only the sponsored section and make a separate {{Category|Endcards/Credits}} segment for the remaining endcards, otherwise skip the entire endcards with Sponsor.<br />
* If the product stands in no obvious relation to the YouTuber, mark it Sponsor.<br />
* If the product is advertised with the YouTuber's branding, but is still clearly a product of the company, mark it Sponsor.<br />
<br />
'''If the segment more closely matches the criteria for {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}}, it should be marked as such instead of Sponsor.'''<br />
<br />
* If they are closely linked with the product, or if the product bears their branding exclusively.<br />
* Free shout-outs for anything they like:<br />
** Other channels<br />
** Causes/charities<br />
** Websites<br />
** Products<br />

'''{{Category|Sponsor}}''' is for paid promotions, paid referrals and direct advertisements.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
This includes:<br />
* Paid advertisement of a product or service.<br />
* Advertisement of a product received for free.<br />
* Giveaway of items which are provided by a third party, and the announcement of the winner.<br />
* Advertisement of [[Referral Links|affiliate links]].<br />
<!-- Including every product for which a link just exists would be too excessive --><br />
* Segues into a YouTube ad.<br />
* Joke sponsors which are real companies.<br />
<br />
== Exceptions/Edge Cases ==<br />
* Fake/joke sponsor spots are skipped with Sponsor if they are real companies. If it is a fake company, they are skipped with Tangent/Jokes.<br />
* If the whole video is about (or closely related to) the sponsor, or if the sponsor is too tightly integrated into the video to remove cleanly:<br />
# Don't make a segment covering the entire video.<br />
# Submit a [[Full Video Labels|full video label]] using the Sponsor category.<br />
# Leave the [[Disclosure|disclosure]] of sponsorship unskipped, so viewers are aware of any potential bias.<br />
# Any parts that can be cleanly skipped while leaving the main content/storyline of the video intact should still be skipped.<br />
* Sponsor should take precedence over all other categories.<br />
** Sometimes a sponsored section continues into the endcards. If a clean cut is possible, skip only the sponsored section and make a separate {{Category|Endcards/Credits}} segment for the remaining endcards, otherwise skip the entire endcards with Sponsor.<br />
* If the product stands in no obvious relation to the YouTuber, mark it Sponsor.<br />
* If the product is advertised with the YouTuber's branding, but is still clearly a product of the company, mark it Sponsor.<br />
<br />
'''If the segment more closely matches the criteria for {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}}, it should be marked as such instead of Sponsor.'''<br />
<br />
* If they are closely linked with the product, or if the product bears their branding exclusively.<br />

'''{{Category|Sponsor}}''' is for paid promotions, paid referrals and direct advertisements.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
This includes:<br />
<br />
* Paid advertisement of a product or service.<br />
* Advertisement of a product received for free.<br />
* Giveaway of items which are provided by a third party, and the announcement of the winner.<br />
* Advertisement of [[Referral Links|affiliate links]].<br />
<!-- Including every product for which a link just exists would be too excessive --><br />
* Segues into a YouTube ad.<br />
<br />
== Exceptions/ Edge Cases ==<br />
* If the product stands in no obvious relation to the YouTuber, mark it Sponsor.<br />
* If the product is advertised with the YouTuber's branding, but is still clearly a product of the company, mark it Sponsor.<br />
* If the whole video is about (or closely related to) the sponsor, or if the sponsor is too tightly integrated into the video to remove cleanly:<br />
# Don't make a segment covering the entire video.<br />
# Submit a [[Full Video Labels|full video label]] using the sponsor category.<br />
# Leave the [[Disclosure|disclosure]] of sponsorship unskipped, so viewers are aware of any potential bias.<br />
# Any parts that can be cleanly skipped (while leaving the main content/storyline of the video intact) should still be skipped.<br />
* Sponsor should take precedence over all other categories.<br />
** Sometimes a sponsored section continues into the endcards. If a clean cut is possible, skip only the sponsored section and make a separate {{Category|Endcards/Credits}} segment for the remaining endcards, otherwise skip the entire endcards with Sponsor.<br />
<br />
'''If the segment more closely matches the criteria for {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}}, it should be marked as such instead of Sponsor.'''<br />
<br />
* If they are closely linked with the product, or if the product bears their branding exclusively.<br />
* Free shout-outs for anything they like:<br />
** Other channels<br />
** Causes / charities<br />
** Websites<br />
** Products<br />
<br />
== Disambiguation ==<br />
=== Exclusive Access ===<br />
* If a [[Referral Links|referral link]] is added or referenced, the mention of the link is Sponsor.<br />

<br />
=== Unpaid/ Selfpromo ===<br />
