Yeah, I'm pretty okay with sponsored segments. By and large, the people I watch only accept sponsors that appear to be legitimate, and the read is generally "here's this service and what it does, give it a try and thank them for feeding me this week!" Or "I've been using this service since they started and I think it's pretty cool"

They're generally not low quality scammy products or designed to extract money or spy (with the exception of VPN ads, but that's a different issue).

I'm alright with them. I tend to skip them more these days because I can only hear about Brilliant and Squarespace so many times in a day
