Has anybody ever seen a RUclips channel post videos that are just advertisement? Of course I've seen countless sponsored videos, but never FULL-FLEDGED VIDEOS

[@kendomyers]

Yes

[@Big_Dai]

It's called "I want money. Money is good."

[@kendomyers]

After this comment I watched a musician RUclipsr make a full video where he just played with a new device a sponsor gave him, making it clear it was contingent on him making the video.
Ive seen sponsors do PSAs and history lessons - its a way to educate your consumer for a relatively low price.

Malcolm gladwell did a whole podcast series that was an ad for Lexus.

I love what Solar Oppostes did with Malcolm Gladwell
The pop psychologist whos major insight was if you do something for a long time you get good at it
And sometimes you dont need to do research you just know things- very aristotelian

The info is on target and useful. I have no intention of touching Zelle with my neighbor's ten foot pole, but thanks for the PSA.

Does FOMO really apply when someone is LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO LIVE? In my city at least, if you don't have an application and deposit submitted within hours of a posting, you're not getting it.

[@anthonypareigis6188]

...do you know what fomo means? Fear of missing out. So yes people absolutly have a fear of missing out when they cant even apply.

[@Gtex555]

why pay a deposit before seeing the place inperson.

[@kateskeys]

I HATE MY MAFIA LANDLORD

[@tricallyourmama]

Someone tried to do this on me through Craigslist 😂 who tf would pay for a rental space that they’ve never seen?

[@sharingankyuubi007]

Only a fool would pay to just see any kind of property, or extremely naive person. Stake booking money After u've looked into thing first hand is First Rule of any deal !!

[@theprecipiceofreason]

This has been common since the 80s to be honest. I remember lots for sale in the ole wooden nickel that you could call and reserve for $50 but... there was no lot!

[@keeKeeConnolly]

Rent is the scam

[@innoama]

yo vox can you somehow do a vid about the lk 99 superconductor thing going on

[@Big_Dai]

Hurr Durr.. support our journalism

[@romanw8632]

Bro this is the literally watching the fall from Rome over and over again dude what? I still remember that Cuba internet video that was gas

[@shashankraj6818]

3mins to save $3,000 in scam of just checking out rentals

[@metfan999]

Huh, why does this video not show on my subscription page?

[@AG-oi3rq]

It's paid ad content...

[@BleepBlop-rh9lm]

LOL Did I just watch a whole video of an ad. I will never watch this channel again.

[@christosstravoravdis303]

This isn't fomo it's a need to have a place to live and desperately looking for affordable housing.

[@ScFunn]

This is an ad

[@archidocsFR]

That's written in the title...

[@161654655156]

thanks, cap!

[@d.b.cooper1]

Rare exception of being a great one,

[@LabGecko]

Zelle may not be trustworthy (they aren't to me) but the info in this vid was on target.

[@AkibHussain-qy5ou]

My friend lost 200 just week ago ..😢😅

[@aTheBear]

480p?

[@jarvitect]

Ew ads

[@NewCreationInChrist896]

Repent the kingdom is near.

Just apply for asylum. You'll have the US government guaranteeing you're housing is paid and secure for at least a year.
