One of the things I absolutely hate is how every YT sponsor is thanked for "making this video possible".
It is perfectly possible to make a well produced video without sponsors or merch, even if you work full time you can do it on the weekends, it will take far longer, sure, but the video would not be impossible to make just because you don't have sponsors.
Sure it is a technicality, but an important one.
If you can't earn money, you might make a few videos but it's unlikely that you can run a successful channel. Not to mention upfront investment needed for some types of content - travel and product reviews come to mind.
"making it possible" is a correct phrasing.
I get what you mean, I guess what I actually want to see is a change from "made this video possible" to "helped make this video possible"
I don't like the idea that we give sponsors full credit for making a specific video possible.
Eh, I am nitpicking, it just annoys me.
