First of all, no. I'm getting increasingly aggravated at content creators such as yourself who attempt to end-around the usual in-video programmed ads by prostituting yourselves for your sponsors. It wouldn't be so bad, except rarely are these creators-as-spokespersons' pitches at the 30 second mark that pre-cable television held as a standard length of commercials.
I'm aggravated because I pay for youtube premium precisely so I don't have to put up with ads in the video.
Are you old enough to remember the late '70s, when they were pitching how great cable was? At least here in the States, they were. The big selling point was: monthly fee, no more commercials!
Yeah, that didn't age well, did it?
And now there are subscription services such as Amazon that charge you for membership, and charge you to NOT put up with ads within the audios and videos that you <checks notes> PAY FOR!
One is able to listen to youtube for free, and I've done that, but it's more trouble to me than it's worth.
Now, second, having said all that, I do not mind you hyping your own product. So few youtubers do, and I wish you success with that.
But as far as outside sponsorships: please stop.
Many youtubers have them. Some are a single sponsor that have sponsored channels for years that I know of, while others are a rotation of sponsors that sponsor individual videos, not the channel.
Where does it end? Today, you're doing one sponsor - though technically, you are doing two. Next week, next year, everyone is up to two, or three, or more.

I once called my sister the "C" word. I'm not British, nor am I Australian.
I was young, and heard one of my trashy little school mates say it. I understood that it wasn't a nice thing to call someone, but it didn't make the list of 7 words you can't say on television. Even before George Carlin, those were pretty well defined. Never mind our parents (I use that term loosely) used such words regularly.
But when my father, who has been gone for about 3 decades (he was in WWII) beat the hell out of me to the point where it took me 3 days to recover, the point was made that that was a word that no one should ever use in any context. Oh, and I was probably 8. Did I mention he was an abusive a*hole?
Imagine my surprise when I joined the Navy, traveled the world, and ran across Brits and Aussies who used the "C" word with abandon. Apparently, there's no part of sentence structure where the "C" word cannot be used; subject/object, adjective, adverb, and so on.
At 68, I don't use that word, even in writing. I still half expect lightning to strike me or my father to raise from the grave if I even send a meme, like the one an Australian friend of mine sent me, who happens to be a sheila, which says 'Grow up and stop saying "Karen"...say C-word, like an adult.' Except it spells it out. 4 letters that will probably get a youtube post yanked. The list is secret, and it's encyclopedic.
I told her my story, which made her laugh hysterically, because she can be one, apparently.

Or the encyclopedic list of words and phrases on social media that content creators and commentors alike are not allowed to use, but that is not posted anywhere. People only find out when videos are demonitized and/or yanked, and the same is true for post.
For instance: I once posted a meme (that I got on FB) on my FB timeline. It was not long after Epstein's demise. It was a picture of the Arkansider-in-chief herself, and it said something about making an appointment for the viewer of the meme on the sui-slide (H/t Donut Operator) hotline.
It was actually cleverly done, but FB responded thusly: "You used the "S" word in a post. We are concerned about your health and safety, and recommend you seek help if you are considering such a thing. Oh, and by the way, you're banned for 30 days."
Because that's what you do when you're truly concerned about someone's mental health and state of mind; cut them off from interaction with other people.
Who knew that social media providers were the new Catholic League - which was one guy in his basement who was prolific at writing letters to corporations, sponsors, and the media, and who was the reason Rob and Laura Petrie had separate beds as a married couple, and the reason they couldn't say "pregnant" on television. As a couple of examples.
But most "violations" of those hidden standards never know why their comments were pulled. They just were.

You know who really started the "body positivity" movement, and the "fat acceptance" movement?
Skinny broads. And gay men.
Skinny broads because it cuts down on the competition for the 5-10% of so-called "high value" men if the competition is too fat for those men.
Gay men, because for whatever reason, have a love-hate relationship with hot chicks. It's actually fascinating to watch. They love, love, love the hot chicks, probably because, as we all know (h/t Hoe_Math), the hotter they are, the more cray-cray they be. The hate part is fashion shows, FR.
Not to worry, big girls (full disclosure: my late wife was a big girl): the brothers got you covered. They'll stick the Stick of Truth in most anything that'll cooperate long enough. Hell, like one brother said, "half the brothers in Atlanta are on the down low." Like I said, "most anything."
The rest of the Big Girls? There's a reason that lesbian couples have the highest divorce rates and most incidents of DV/SA of any group.

No, no, no, stunning and brave single mom modern woman! You're doing it wrong! Your son is a mere male and as such, his feelings should NOT be taken into consideration. They will not be later, when he's out on his own. You're just setting him up for failure. Consider the online rallying cry of bearded, hairy-legged trans male lesbian "feminists," which is to just "deal with it."
In fact, you're failing your son by not encouraging him to explore what clearly are feelings of misplaced body dysmorphia. You should have had him on puberty blockers ages ago! The bonus is: the unfeeling institution of public indoctrination...er, education, would protect him instead of allowing bullying to go on.
Fear not, madam! It's still not to late to get him into the system.
Or dump him off on his father, if known.
