온라인 오프라인 할 것 없이 세상이 들썩들썩 하는 중이다. 지금 한국 유튜브는 거의 한국 타노스의 핑거스냅효과처럼 하나 하나 사라지고 있다.

허허.하지만 한번은 일어나야 했던 일이라고 생각한다.

해외 유튜브와 국내 유튜브 영상,댓글은 광고를 대하는 태도가 너무 달랐다. 우리나라 시청자들은 워낙 노골적 광고에 대한 거부감이 심하다보니 많은 광고주들은 실제로 유료광고가 아닌 것처럼 보이게 해주기를 원했다. 지금 문제되고 있는 “내돈내산” 처럼 찍어주기를 바라는 것이다. 그리고 그걸 티안나게 잘할수록 유능한 사람인 듯 되었었고.

그래서 내가 개인적으로 가장 대단하다 생각했던 국내 유튜버들은, 광고영상인 걸 알아도 진짜 재밌어서 또보고싶게 만드는 유튜버들이었다. 대표적으로 장삐쭈 나 총몇명 같은 채널. ASMR은 실은 영상 광고수익이 워낙 적게나기 때문에 나도 그들처럼 재미있는 광고 ASMR을 올려서 시청자들의 사랑도 받고 돈도 벌고 싶었었다. 그런데 나는 능력이 안되더라. 앞광고 영상을 올릴 때마다 광고 하지말라고 욕먹었으니까. 그건 즉 내 영상이 별로라는 뜻이나 마찬가지였다. 재밌었으면 광고냐 아니고 관계없이 시청자들은 좋아했을테니까. 아, 돈을 벌려고 욕심을 내니까 사랑을 못받는구나 싶어 한동안 광고를 안했었다.

그러다 요즘은 또 생각이 바뀌어서, 사랑은 일방적으로 갈구한다고 받을 수 있는 게 아니니~ 돈을 좀 벌어야하지 않을까? 싶기도 했다. 일년에 이사를 세번 하고 있으니 통장 걱정이 되는 건 어쩔 수 없었다. 근데 막상 또 마음 맞는 광고가 별로 없어서 의욕만큼 하지 못했는데, 지금 뒷광고 문제가 터지고 나니 차라리 잘된 일이었지 싶다. 상처받은 시청자들은 어느 순간부터 뒷광고 여부가 아니라 광고 자체에 대해 이전보다도 더 극도로 거부감을 느끼고 있으니까.

광고라는 것은 시장 논리상으로 사라질 수는 없는 것이다. 누군가 제품과 서비스를 만들면 누군가는 그것을 알리고 또 누군가는 사용해주어야 하니까. 이번 일로 광고에 대한 모두의 인식이 바뀌어서 솔직하고 양심적인 광고 문화가 자리잡았으면 한다. 상처받은 소비자들의 마음이 잘 아물기를....

덧: 앞광고 재미있게 잘 찍는 사람이 되고 싶다.

There is still hope that, one day.. Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates, etc, become a supporting Zellies you know. Content creator on YouTube is different than our typical job. Like, if someone look at you right now they might think "damn she is doing more than ok" but, people tend to forgot that, you started from nothing, you had to work basicaly for free for so long, slowly but surely building your Zellies army. All these videos, these hours of work required a lot of time and creativity. So i think most people wont have a fair opinion of what a YouTuber should earn or not. Because most of the time they wont have the right understanding of your work. I think it's different from being a BJ, flash some skin and perform sexy act to get a sh.tload of star baloon. Because these girls can earn so much more, really fast and there is not much work involved depending of what they are ready to do for it. You left Afreeca, you had your reasons i guess but you were never one of these girls. Your stream were differents. You've got the visual, you could have done it easily. But you never did, and for this you have my respect. Same with your ASMR, you rely on your creativity and skills alone and you never cross the line. And this make you worth supporting 👍. Do you know, some other ASMRtist are actually selling pantie for 500£/monthly through Patreon ? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ We are truely living in a crazy world. 👽

you should be using sponsorships, it's part of how you make money on Youtube, i know asmr creators sometimes get very little from ads because their videos get restricted. Ads are very important to the asmr creators, anyone upset by it doesn't understand that the videos would stop if you aren't making money since it's your biggest form of income. Find sponsoships you like and make your money! :)

Some ads are super noisy tho and can really ruin someone's experience while listening to a playlist or something no ? Like between two Eunzel's videos you get : "GET READY TO PLAY SHADOW LEGEND AND ..." Yaaah. 🤪

most creators do the ad themselves instead of playing a video about the sponsorship before the video, means she can do the ad in asmr style and we get asmr while watching a short ad and she gets money, it's a win-win situation!

Oh yeah she has done this before, you are right. Like the Mr Mango video.

I never understood why some people hate sponsored ad videos, especially if the video is clearly, honestly, and openly announced to be advertising something. Personally I'm not interested in 99% of sponsors, but I support my favorite youtubers advertising to 100% of their fans even if only a small percent are interested and an even smaller percent would actually buy. Would the same people who hate ads also hate having a friend whose job is advertising? I mean, even if I have a friend who does advertising, and I'm not interested in what they advertise on social media publicly, I won't mind and won't leave negative feedback -everyone should be able to make a little extra money right? I've seen ASMR youtubers announce sponsored videos for earphones, beauty products, glasses, expressVPN, edible products, pillows, clothing, Raid shadow legends, mens hygeine etc. and I never noticed too much complaining for them to stop (maybe because they announced the sponsor from the start, and the whole video wasn't always about the product? And the videos are still good asmr videos either way) but one asmrtist I watch now ONLY uploads asmr to youtube when she has a sponsor at the start or if the whole video is about a product ad, and then goes weeks without uploading until the next sponsored video etc. so I can see why some people might think that she doesnt care about fans and only uploads if she can make money, but the videos are still relaxing, so I'll always support her making relaxing videos with an ad rather than never uploading at all lol

What types of video does this other artist make ? I was curious if this would work on.. let say Roleplaying videos ? Lol i think that would bother me on this type of video, if i'm trying to get immersion and all of a sudden the artist start talking about some sh^t i should buy. That wouldn't feel right. Maybe if it's done before it start, i don't know. I think depending on the video i would or wouldn't mind. Imagine you're at the doctor's office for a checkup and suddenly your doctor ask you about your VPN hahaha.

I'm just glad Eunzel has her Patreon and Fanding, so she doesn't have to rely on unreliable YouTube ad revenue. I personally don't mind sponsored ASMR videos at all, as long as the sponsor's message is delivered in ASMR style, too. Otherwise, in case of a playlist, the same thing as with the loud ads inbetween 2 videos would happen. In the ideal case, the artist doesn't just advertize something for the sake of selling it, but because they use the product themself and are genuinely satisfied with it. Fun fact: I actually bought a thing that Eunzel presented in a video: when I helped her with the subtitles for the headaches / neck support pillow video, I asked her if everything she said in the video was her true testimonial and not exaggerated for the sponsor and when she confirmed, I actually ordered one of those pillows. And indeed it has drastically reduced the number of days where I'm plagued by headaches. So that sponsorship ended up being a really good and helpful advice.
