I watched a channel called- Escape the dream restoring a French chateau. I watched it religiously for likr 5 plus years and it helped distract we through covid. Within the last year as they became more popular the ads and selling amped up so much that I couldnt stand watching anymore. Before it felt relaxing and fun to watch now it feels like they are always trying to make money off everything to the detriment of their actual content. Full videos that are only ads, lots of content locked behind patron and now also YouTube membership too and the obnoxious in video sponsorships
I understand that but when it started it just felt like hanging out with a lovely family doing a cool thing, comforting and relaxing to watch. It changed pretty drastically over the last few months where it was no longer rewarding to watch. Full on advertising videos, pushy and irrelevant ads that were a huge chunk of the video, then they added patreeon which was one thing but then added the youtuve membership and continued to ask for items off their Amazon wishlist and merch. It changed from a family more of a business really quickly and it just made it really draining to watch anymore
