Per my understanding, once you click on the video and watch towards the end, it will count as a view. It doesn't matter if you skipped the promotion parts. I am not 100% sure though. I am also not subscribed to any of these youtubers and dont even click on their videos. I get a lot of info from this threadYes! Agree with everything you said. I stopped watching je suis only because I find myself disgusted by her promotion of redeluxe. For the other two you mentioned- sometimes I’ll scroll through the video to see what the unboxing is but then jump out. Like, I’ll hover my mouse over the progress bar and see the screenshots/preview of what is happening before deciding whether to watch the video. I also have an ad blocker on my browser so the ads skip which I think means the YouTube video doesn’t get credit for the ads that come in during the video. I also will scroll at least 5 minutes into the video to skip promotions for Lily silk and Samorga, etc. Lily silk blouses look so ugly- I’m not a fan of that satin-like sheen. It looks cheap and everyone that promotes them looks uncomfortable or stuffy wearing them.
I think companies need to track the engagement rate of these videos. If everyone is skipping over the promotion parts of the video, I’m guessing that affects how much the YouTuber gets paid. It’s a formula right? Subscriber count x average views on a video x other factors = how much they get paid. But if they aren’t looking at how many people stay on to watch the minutes for which a sponsored product is being promoted, I’m not sure these companies are getting their money worth
Oh! I just re- read your message! You paid for a membership? Did you find the membership worth the money? Did they have a lot of members who subscribed? Just curious to see what value kat and Amy gave to those who paid
Yeah I am seeing it everywhere especially on Insta. They are making Chanel inspired jackets and sweaters. I am not falling for it.
I paid for membership and actually enjoyed the first few live shows in the first few months. Amy and Kat had some guests and it was great. But then all the chats about Hermes made me feel so bored. It's over and over again, Hermes and the patience you need, the pre-spend... nothing interesting. Amy said she barely sold her Chanel stuff but I can't even keep track of all items she sold last year. She's a frequent buyer and seller now. I don't see anything wrong with her buying and selling constantly, it's her money and her life, she can do whatever she wants with her collection. It's just I've lost interest in her content. I started to watch less after a couple of months and decided to stop the subscription last month (after 5 months). I don't feel like paying monthly to watch so many ads. It doesn't make sense.Yes!

She doesn't seem happy with Hermes and the wait. I can tell she doesn't seem excited talking about her pre-spend. It's more like something she has to like to justify the buying. At least she can afford Hermes, I can't, so I am glad I won't have to go through it haha.
Hilarious! That's why the normal folk cant afford that much luxury because we are the peeps paying taxes!
I mean I don't think they're super interesting or anything, but they're great to play during a workout or a craft project because they're long and don't require a ton of focus. I enjoy her unboxings as well, because she always buys stuff I never would. I find them interesting because I always wonder who is buying these things. Personally I don't care what she does with her collection since I just watch these kinds of videos for purse eye candy.
As far as i know even though you use ads block software it only blocks you from seeing the ads but does not affect youtube/youtuber getting paid for the adsYes! Agree with everything you said.

Just to clarify, I don't hate Amy (hate is a big word), I just don't find her channel as interesting as before. I thank her for her commitment to Youtube (it's very time-consuming) and the fact that she can manage her finances to afford a luxury life is admirable. I'm just losing interest in the recent talks about Hermes and the sponsored videos. I understand she has to make money somehow but it's becoming too much and too often. Every video is about Samorga, Samorga, Anna Luisa, Samorga, Lilysilk, Samorga, Anna Luisa... If you watch one channel, it's fine. But if you watch 10 channels and 10 of them are all about these brands, you get tired of it quickly. At the end, it's her channel, it's her life, it's her freedom to talk about anything. Her channel has definitely changed in the past couple of years ever since she started her Hermes journey. I am sure she has gained a lot of viewers, but at the same time, she has lost some too.Dang everyone here hating on Amy but I actually enjoy her luxury liveshows with KatL
I have to agree about the amount of advertisement in her sponsored videos though. Before I didn't mind because I get it, they need the sponsorship money, but recently I've noticed her (and other Youtubers!), have super long segments about their sponsored items and I now just skip past it because it's like 5 minutes long! It's like, I want to watch the videos about her bags, not an unboxing of all her Ana Luisa jewelry or every Samorga organizer she was gifted. I checked out both because they keep popping up and I'm not impressed. Ana Luisa is all plated stuff... I find it weird that all these luxury channels are advertising a brand that imo is very non-lux? Not hating on plated jewelry - I have plenty of it, but when I went to their site I was fully expecting to be able to find pieces that were solid gold and there wasn't any?
As to keep on topic with this thread - I enjoy watching Emma Anders and angeleyn. Emma because I can tell she just makes videos for fun and the bags she buys are all things she really wants and overall her personality is just nice to watch. angeleyn also always seems genuinely excited about her purchases. She's quite the Senreve fangirl, which I know some people hate, but I honestly think she just likes the brand.
