      ​@jakeap4598 How dare he try to profit financially after the many hours that go into making these videos in a way that costs you nothing.
      If I were a sponsor, I'd find Zealand a lot more appealing as a partner given the fact he finds interesting ways to get people to not skip the ads completely.

      @@jakeap4598 he's providing content for free for you. putting hours into developing ideas and recording them / coordinating with editors etc. It's his job. I don't see how him utilizing the Ad break and giving us something interesting to look at while also benefiting his sponsor is a bad thing. Besides, retention is super important and this avoids people clicking off the video in a very clever way, not predatory at all.

    This video is basically how Bayern continues to win the Bundesliga. They just buy the best players from the other Bundesliga clubs and have an insane penchant for taking fliers on young international players who turn good. Keeping their core players together is a big key as well, but it's really just "Hey, that guy has the potential to make Freiburg better in a couple years. Let's sign him for $10m, then stick him on the bench for 2-3 years before selling him to some random country because no one in Germany remembers who he is".
