Description
This 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 Interaction Reminder (Subscribe) instead.
This includes:
- Merchandise
- Patreon, Channel Memberships, Twitch Subscriptions or any similar monetized platforms
- This includes scrolling lists of financial supporters (Patreon, GitHub Sponsors etc..)
- Videos or playlists
- Charities, products or websites they like
- Information about whom they collaborated with
- Shout-outs with no money exchanged
- Giveaways with no involvement of a 3rd party and the announcement of the winner
- No money exchanged
- Content YouTuber should have full control
- Products should be purchased by the YouTuber
- Asking for paid/free services from their subscribers (fanmail, video clips)
- Just mute the segment, if it would cover content.
Exceptions/ Edge Cases
The decision on whether it should be marked sponsor or unpaid promotion is influenced by several factors.
For example:
- Did they receive money as well as the product? If so, then it should be marked Sponsor.
- Are they obviously linked with the product they are promoting? If so, then it should be marked Unpaid/ Self Promotion.
- Does the product they are promoting have their branding, similar to merch? If so, then it should be marked Unpaid/ Self Promotion.
If it is impossible to cleanly cut or overlap the segments, Interaction Reminders can be included in Unpaid/ Self Promotion
