As in, would the channel be losing out on money? Because I don’t want to take away from small creators if there is a retention rate for viewership of that exact segment, but I would prefer to skip any of the “but first check out this shitty mobile game”.
It seems like a lot of businesses have a turnkey affiliate/referral rewards program. Like how anyone can go set up Amazon affiliate links.
But the creator presents it as a sponsorship. “Today’s video is sponsored by SquareSpace!”
No it’s not, you’re just posting your affiliate link.
