Eh. His older videos are indeed phenomenal, but newer ones are "you won't believe what happened, right after this sponsor break"

In the particular case of his channel's subject matter, I actually kind of like the dramatic cliffhanger effect that (un)intentionally heightens the narrative's tension, since his video is telling a story. Compare to doing that for informational videos where there's no need for manufactured drama.
FUD. His videos are just as consistently good as they always have been. The sponsor sections can be easily skipped (hint: SponsorBlock).
still, its annoying and he does not need it either with the number of views he gets on Youtube.
I am not that person and can't talk about his finances, nor can you.
If it's content I otherwise can enjoy for free, I don't mind sitting through a short sponsor spot every now and then, or just skipping through it if I'm in a hurry, which is still better than TV ads in that regard.
If I saw something like that on a time sensitive video (e.g. proper CPR example) or something very short then I'd rightfully be upset, but this is not the case.
