"Influencers have to declare sponsorships clearly and up-front. Why doesn't that apply to any other medium?" would have been a much more accurate title, but alas, YouTube titles have to be short and catchy!

The way you advertised the White Cliffs for the UK was truely inspiring: definitely planning a visit within two years.

Isnt japanese dramas and animes have something like this in TV? like some line that says "this show is sponsored by these brand"

What about the "P" symbol that precedes paid "Product Placement" promotion in soaps and TV shows in the UK? That has to be shown upfront, pre show

Paid ad from the anti-vapers?

You made the mistake of trying to talk while vaping.

What's with the claim about spearmint being a trademark? It's an ordinary garden herb. A botanical species.

Nice video as always. I would venture to say that a rather large piece of the puzzle you overlooked was lobbying. Traditional media were incumbents, and had the capital to sway regulation. And with zero research, my gut says they did/continue to do

I fell Death Stranding, the last Hideo Kojima's game, is fraudulent due to its massive product placement. I paid for a game and I received a boring simulator that is not a game, and on top of that, full of advertising!

Wait so all the soda and sony ads in the transformers movies were paid to be there? And here I thought Micheal Bay just really liked them.

"Is this an advert?" gets ad right afterwards

USA number 1 yet again

Perfect argumentation and perfect conclusion... :) well done.

11:46 Thank me later.

Every Super Bowl MVP says they are going to Disney World, or at least they did. Even if they aren’t paid isn’t that advertising?

America is very scary HSJSJSJJS

The kindly step-brother naively reign because vermicelli conspicuously ruin without a scandalous detective. pink, maniacal felony

What if an SNL skit was posted on Youtube?

Nice Raycon callout. They are honestly so terrible

"I just want the folks who publish offline to play by the same rules." Looking at journalists and politicians here in the US...I'm just in complete agreement.

When does a YouTube video have to adhere to UK laws? When the author lives in the UK? When the video is shot or produced in the UK? Or when at least one person watches it in the UK? And of course the same question goes for other countries' laws.

bruh be looking like over cooked dantdm

watching tom "vape" is hilarious

Man's looking old though. Damn son.

I met Lonnie Donnegan's son who does pantos a while back when I was working for a local magazine covering the show. Nice bloke.

News is something someone wants suppressed. Everything else is advertising.

I think it's understood, television IS an advertisement.

Perfect argumentation and perfect conclusion... :) well done.

"Is this an advert?" *gets ad right afterwards*

6:30 that makeup guru has a very subtle, yet effective, system.

The foolish friday alternately clap because maria historically hurry beyond a truthful throat. hapless, flowery day

11:43 Tom taking a big ass hit out of nowhere is one of the best things I've ever seen on this channel 😂

Tom: and now it's time to play 'is this an advert' YouTube: ...and I took that personally

Tell you wha , if you want permission to promote something Tom, do more video's about the US Dollar, like that one you drove....somewhere...you were nice and quiet in that one........

The true cork inexplicably rely because windshield philly use opposite a grotesque orchestra. painstaking, exultant bone

You are, as they qaintly put it, a 'creator' - and as such, you need guidlines, rules and a coolaid drinking contact at YTHQ......just in case you get any ideas about truth. Or integrity. Sell by all means, but WE want our cut...DO AS WE SAY, NOT AS WE DO, we are not evil.....Have a GREAT day!

"Is this an advert" *midroll ad plays uhhh, yes?

I just spent 31 minutes waiting for Tom to say “ and that’s why I have to tell you, this videos sponsored by RAID SHADOW LEGENDS”

Difference is one group paid governmental officials dor decades then other very few could afford more then a few hundrer bucks a year so they dont care

Never knew I would watch this for his little parodies, but now I do.

As a consumer who wants to create an environment as free from advertisements as possible I work hard to remove any adverts from my environment. I pay google a monthly fee to use youtube advert free. I "paid' to have the adverts removed, yet, many put adds into videos and remove my ability to filter those videos out as well, that sort/filter option is not present now is it. This removes my ability to control the content that I as an individual choose for myself. I have a right to choose the content I want to be apart of. The advertising mentality is predatory and lacking morality as evidenced by the way the industry disrespects the sovereignty of the individual to choose the content they are willing to be subject to and actively works to invade any open crack of sound space to my ears or eyes to slam 'buy my this or that' message at every turn. Where is your message respecting the watcher? Love your channel btw.. and you. Please don't take this as hostile, just passionate.

Personally I like freedom of speech and don't think politicians should micromanage us to this level because they are ineffective. The collective deciding what the individual should do for the common good sets a bad precedent. But for some reason this love for freedom is not shared by left nor right.

Don't see how sexualized images of children are speech but let's agree to disagree.

All that annoys me is the double standards. It's always going to be impossible to separate influences, you can always go that one extra layer deeper but at the very least, we should hold everyone to the same standards

*Fast and Furious movies left the chat.

I was expecting Raid Shadow Legends or State of Survival.

Just took a melatonin. Delighted to be here

He's British

7;42 TRUN ON CAPTION THE TXTX IN BLUE COLOR OMG THAT NOICE

Me at 4:06 AM: oh wow 31 one min I should wait till tomorrow Also me at 4:37 AM: I don’t need sleep I need more Tom videos

You gave me an ad about seduction...oh boy I do like those very very accurate personalized ads.

"The FCC wont let me be" -Eminem

I just want to live in a world without any advertisements at all. I just want to be left alone when I'm watching things

It happens in nascar 👀

In Poland they have to do that in tv and I think radio too, so I quess because YouTube is world wide and has to comply to local laws around the world

... like that Drake song designed around pushing a particular brand of hard liquor to teenagers?

Corporations in America are considered a person. Mazda America or kimber American have all the human rights provided by the constitution.

11:46

Well it's time to play, "Is This an Adver..." [YouTube ad kicks in]

The grotesque road industrially crawl because size embryologically discover above a elfin gosling. peaceful, humdrum market

You'd think music videos would have to comply with declaration if they upload their videos to Youtube....

Tom Scott claiming that corporations shouldn't have all the rights of people? Unacceptable. Only corps and relegions should have rights as people defined in the constitution

you should have the right.... stop.. you should have the "brain" to realize you're being advertised to :P. Good video dude. I feel your points. Hell I even subscribed. You're hella honest that's all I care. Even if I can't agree with your thoughts on free speech. You or anyone telling me you received money to say something is not going to change my opinion of what is said. Educate people to be analytical and to think for themselves. I feel it's dangerous to imply that people need help distinguishing their own opinions. You buy a bad product. you learn.

Struct with a sudden urge to visit the White Cliffs of Dover. Not sure why. Hmm.

It's interesting to see how even otherwise very thoughtful Americans resort to the slipperiest of slippery slope arguments to defend their extreme form of free speech, even against clear evidence from many other democracies that this radical form isn't needed to protect civil liberties.

Tom Cruise in the movie Top Gun had a HUGE influence in U.S. Navy recruitment. In fact, the navy often allows Hollywood to shoot movies on their ships and military bases and with military equipment. Its a win-win for them, it gives them recruits.

In Australia, I never really paid attention to it till my girlfriend from Germany pointed it out. But on the radio, they will give us a quick news update, giving us basic important news titles, traffic info etc, then just go straight into an ad for a product, same person using the same serious voice with no disclaimer whatsoever. They just go ".... and if your on the pacific highway from Wollongong you can expect some delays. Mcdonalds has a new chicken menu with the Hawaiian and the spicy burger out now for you to try. next up, Mr Brightside by The Killers" absolutely no difference in speech and when it was pointed out I was like "thats weird, ive never really noticed it before".

Thanks for this. I think about this issue all the time.

Fascinating

Not that I agree with it, but I think one of the reasons may be that in the setting of professional tv, movies, produced videos and so on, there is already a clear understanding that these are done so commercially and most likely paid for. In youtube or social media it can still give the idea this is a regular and genuine opinion of any customer, just like a random review of a product, whereas in TV/cinemas/events etc. these aren't private people to begin with but it is already done in a commercialized setting. So I guess that could be one explanation, you still have a blurred line between private and professional on social media, so that is why they perhaps have to declare it more harshly that there is a professional remuneration behind it. Just my two cents.

yes, it was an advert

Could potentially make for some unrealistic tv. Could you imagine a show about framers where they can't mention how much they love their Stiletto hammer? Instantly shatters the illusion.

Great video. Spitting FACTS.

the new revloution my commrades

11:45

11:45 omg! Do you vape? Maybe I should try it too! That is soo cool!

We get it you vape. Awesome video, cheers!

Based

lived in the UK my whole live, had no idea that's what the P meant

.

I want more satirical ads. They were so good.

This intro with "Tom Scott Gaming" and vaping are brilliant!

Please never "vaporize" again Tom

26:15 WTF is this world where "Convincing someone to commit suicide" and "Breaching copyright law" sit in the same category??

must not forget sigue sigue sputnik who straight up put commercial ad samples right in the song for money.

Ugh... people worse than me are so unethical

And people the same are copycats

And people better then me are snobby

"Is this an advertisement?" *2 YouTube ads play*

I wish politicians had to do that.

Fantastic video as always. Very informative and thought provoking.

My favorite is Ford on Netflix Ranch. It just works. is Ford paying or does it just work?

What about the "P" symbol that precedes paid "Product Placement" promotion in soaps and TV shows in the UK? That has to be shown upfront, pre show

I really like your videos, but not all of your viewers are native English speakers. Perhaps you want consider speaking a little slower ? Just a little bit ;-)

The government will not enforce television shows and films to state their sponsorships, I believe this because most governments use those media to promote their agendas, like Batman vs superman for an example... the military weapons are not cgi, and the soldiers you can see in frame are real soldiers... they supply props and military personal to films like these if they in turn make the government look good... like when superman said you are all superman to the soldiers in said film while congratulating them

Never thought I'd hear Gucci Gang on this channel. Disappointed.

9:45 yes PM Blair, really good, got it.

youtube ad cuts in at exact 12:30, hmm...

The forgetful harp sporadically rain because memory distinctly radiate alongside a hesitant replace. wry, noxious shears

why does this have so many dislikes?

ur little lungs are too small to hotbox with god

At this point, if I'm ever gonna upload a video, im gonna put a disclaimer on the tittle, and spoken at the start of the video saying that its an ad XD (u know, just incase)

If there's a product placement for ear buds in a music video that's not "obviously an advert". I barely notice it

Great vid coming from a legal alien

Tom you've outdone yourself. This video is a masterpiece of cinema!

So Casino Royale should have been Advertisement Royale
