Hi patrons,I wanted to let you know that the next video will include a sponsored segment for the language app Babbel. I’ve managed to avoid sponsorship on the channel for 9 years, but I haven’t been making enough money on YouTube or Patreon to pay the bills lately. I have no intention of accepting board game related sponsorship.Unfortunately it means that the next video will be slightly delayed. It was already an ambitious video - recommending 20 games, one that I’m really excited to share with you. And the sponsor wants to approve the sponsorship segment and suggest changes - so I don’t know how long that will all take.I promise it will be worth the wait, and comes with a Patron exclusive video as well.Thanks for your patience,Jon

I would far rather you plug (e.g.) SquareSpace or Audible than a board game. I understand why YouTubers take deals with publishers but I cannot take their content seriously. At least with you I know I can take your board game opinions at face value and your opinions on (e.g.) VPNs or razors with a grain of salt. Do whatever works for you but I'd far rather you take sponsorship from outside the industry than within. I'm excited for the next video!

Thanks. Yes, I have now edited the post to say: I have no intention of accepting board game related sponsorship.

I also have no problems with you taking sponsorships Jon, unless it's for some "Free to Play" RPG game which I know full well most people have not played. Those always seem the most disingenuous ones to me. But you've got to make a living (as do we all!) so just do what you feel comfortable with and keep up the great content.

After watching the video, that was the best, most original sponsorship plug I ever saw. And you even managed to tie in gaming!
