Tom is on the money with presenting ads to his audience. The way he works them into a skit and make them *actually* entertaining, versus the cringey 'I want to make it funny but the company has a gun in my back' style I see lots of, means his ads are the few channels I enjoy seeing what he's up to and won't skip past them.
Agree! It’s exciting for us and the brand to see someone who has really thought about what their audience want to see from an ad, rather than reading a script…
What I find endearing about his attitude with all this advertisement junk is that he absolutely despises the generic ‘reading off a script’ format. Even holding back on doing sponsors because of companies being too restrictive on the whole skit’s idea’s. (though he does admit to doing it sometimes.) If a man’s focusing so much to make sure you’re entertained while advertising a goddamn product, then you know his actual content is high quality.
i mean the gun to my back ones are funny but only if they are original like ssethtzeentach saying exactly what we want to hear from a parody of those people
Tomska and Eric from Internet Comment Etiquette have been pioneers in the world of branded internet videos. Always entertaining and never sell-outs in their ads. It’s pretty impressive. Selling your integrity for money is always a bad look and these two have always stayed above board from what I know.
great video, I'm so glad that advertisers are realising that the youtubers are some of the smartest people in advertising and should be given enough control to make something good
honestly, it's quite controversial, because some of youtubers can be immature, hypocrite and not kind at all, so with this influence they can spoil someone in a some way (sorry for my English, not my native)
What the hell is this? TH-cam recommending an almost hour-long interview that's actually interesting enough for me to watch all of and enjoy? It must remember the sheer number of times I've watched his "What Happened?" video with 5secondfilms. Very well, TH-cam, you've won this round. Great interview, it's always super interesting to be able to see behind the curtain and learn about some of the stuff that we as consumers just never really consider. And a plus to see it sort of from two different perspectives at once, from the creator and the agency. Glad that you're both able to be selective about what comes through. I will almost always skip ads in videos unless the creator has taken the time to make it interesting for me. If you're gonna read off the script, fine, but I'm just going to skip ahead because I know that the exact same script will come up elsewhere so I've already probably heard it all before. It's also interesting to think about the silent majority of people within a certain age range who generally don't do the comment thing. Which is definitely true, I'm in my 30's and have been actively trying to make an effort more lately to comment on things that I actually enjoy. If it's good, then someone put the effort in and they deserve to be recognized for it. Still baffled that TH-cam just recommended this for me out of the blue, I'm not used to their algorithms...you know, working.
I do like the content, but I have to agree that it was kind of hard to concentrate on the talking. Maybe there is a way to rearrange or upgrade the audio setup, reduce the echo in the room; the music takes away from the conversation.
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback We’re trying a different location and audio set up for the next couple, as it was a little echo-y in the big studio space. Hope the sound is better on the next one 🤞
Are you homophobic, ableist, or classist? Because if you are a fan of Tomas Ridgewell you would know that he is against these things. I gave a compliment to the dude with back ground. You're weird.
@@lost-soul-anonymous I am an old peer educator. And Tom has been open about his mental health. I just wanted show how someone so different from him could get something out of his video's. Now are you done dissecting my compliment. I pity you. Who hurt you? I use my name, you hide behind ''Anonymous''. Why does someone sharing their story scare you so much that you have to insult them? Honestly.
You know, it's nice to be able to watch a TH-cam video where I can look at the screen and say to myself "I don't think anyone here is a terrible person."
I love this concept but man this has got to be recorded better, I still enjoyed what I listened to but to say it was a painless experience would be lying, keep improving and keep making cool videos like this!
it's so interesting to see tom's perspective on his history and his work flow!! i love his insight on things like being a celebrity on the internet and how it affects you, and how things changed for him as he and everyone else grew up while doing youtube stuff :]
Great interview! But some parts get lost with my crappy phone speakers haha Maybe write "real" subtitles? The auto-generated ones work well but with this kind of audio (echoey) not so much, ironically
Thanks for the feedback. It was quite a big echo-y studio and the mic was a little far away. Trying a couple of new locations for the next few episodes and would love your thoughts
Tomska is also personified as a character in a popular NewGrounds show called EddsWorld as “Tom”, which is older then TH-cam, and is made by a Friend, who has unfortunately passed in 2012
The echo really isn't as bad as most people are making it out to be, it's definitely noticable but it's not the worst Anyways great video, very informative
You're right. The echo is much, much worse. It makes me feel like I'm back in a high school auditorium, which is weird, as they've repeatedly told me I'm not welcome there anymore after The Welsh Event.
@@DigitalVoices and now I feel bad for joking about it. Audio balance for recording is hard to manage; the rest of your elements were in place for a solid video. It was a fun video I couldn't help but take the piss out of. Looking forward to your future works
Thank you. Sorry for the echo. We tried a new studio and set up for this one, but it was way too echo-y, so we’re trying something new for the next two. Thanks for the feedback and persevering with listening!
For the gambling ones asking you not to mention the word gambling, isnt that against the law in the UK? dont TV ads for them have to include a link to gamble aware?
Mate are you havin a bubble? Im gobsmacked that you cant understand our language, its as though youre plastered or something. Its not that hard alright? Say you and your mate liz have just left spoons and are craving some food not made by a Taff, you just go down the cheekys til they kip and you have a jaunt with them about it in the morning

Tom is the kind of guy I'd love to just sit on a sofa with like this and chat with him for hours, he seems so funny and well spoken.
Honestly, could have spoken for even longer! He’s hilarious, but also deeply considers the impact of his videos and how his audience feel. It was 👌 💙
Same, but I’m not interesting enough to keep my side of the conversation up.
yeah!! he seems so insightful :]
i love how tom is being interviewed and just responds "ye :D"
As a 25 year old male who rarely comments on TomSka related videos, I’ve never been more offended by something that is completely true
0:51 "Keep it relatable"
Meanwhile, quietly, in the background: "I wanna die, die, die! :D"
Well, yes, exactly. Very relatable to lots of people.
Why yes I do want to die ! Very relatable !

I really appreciate advertisers who give such creative freedoms to their influencers, I almost never skip one of Tomska’s ads because they’re so good
at least once a year I rewatch "Last week" And "Last month" on the second channel.
I'm a 50 year old physically disabled Gay guy from Seattle. Tom is so brilliant. And his team rocks.
what does that have to do with the rest of the sentence... nobody cares, close your channel.
@@lost-soul-anonymous (who has to hide) 13 people liked it. And how is that bridge you lurk under with all the other trolls?

Didn't know you guys had a TH-cam channel, been watching Tom for years, great video
Hopefully you’ll like the other creator interviews we film too 🤞 Thank you
I love this concept but man this has got to be recorded better, I still enjoyed what I listened to but to say it was a painless experience would be lying, keep improving and keep making cool videos like this!
Man, hearing Tom’s voice when he’s not “on” for a video is… wild.
it's so interesting to see tom's perspective on his history and his work flow!! i love his insight on things like being a celebrity on the internet and how it affects you, and how things changed for him as he and everyone else grew up while doing youtube stuff :]
Love Tom’s shirt
Yep, I've had surfshark since the Thomas the Tank Engine video.
Great interview! But some parts get lost with my crappy phone speakers haha
Maybe write "real" subtitles? The auto-generated ones work well but with this kind of audio (echoey) not so much, ironically
Thanks for the feedback! We are working on the audio for the next podcast, and we will improve the subtitles too!
Tom might be the only guy who i don't skip ads for
So that’s why the ad left the Thomas video! I was going crazy thinking ad blocker had somehow learned to invade videos
nice way to find a new channel
I wish you guys had a better mic during this.. 😅 his audio was just too echoey most of the time.. it's kind of hard listening to it on the background.
Thanks for the feedback. It was quite a big echo-y studio and the mic was a little far away. Trying a couple of new locations for the next few episodes and would love your thoughts
@@DigitalVoices looking forward to it! :)

oh i ain’t seen tom in a minute good to see him
Enjoying the video but finding the background music very irritating
We will not include music on the next episode - thank you for the feedback 🙏
"Something relatable" as the lyrics "I wanna die" play in the background
The echo really isn't as bad as most people are making it out to be, it's definitely noticable but it's not the worst

guys your audio set up straight up does not work. i stayed purely for Tom's personality, but listening to the video was a struggle
Thank you. Sorry for the echo. We tried a new studio and set up for this one, but it was way too echo-y, so we’re trying something new for the next two. Thanks for the feedback and persevering with listening!
what are you doing here tom?
He is everywhere. You cannot escape him.
Didn't you get the memo? He's the omniscient OG
Digital voices is the agency that gets him sponsors
Please put the mic closer to you, the Audio quality is horrible
This is the interview of a man who's "seen it all" on youtube 😄
Wait, it was the Thomas the Tank engine video that got took down?
i love this
Algorithmic punch
For the gambling ones asking you not to mention the word gambling, isnt that against the law in the UK? dont TV ads for them have to include a link to gamble aware?
Unsolicited suggestion: put the video timeline into chapters.
