"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, NOprojects titles have to be short and catchy!

You made the mistake of trying to talk while vaping.

Only time I heard the lyrics "Does your chewing gum loose its flavor on the bedpost..." was in the Ray Stevens song "A-Hab the A-Rab". ...unclench, its from the 70s.

btw north america does have a law that says paid promotion must be declared on all media ... yup those but wait theres more commercials are disclaimed as paid promotions ... just because the UK doesnt have them doesnt mean no one does ...

Not a sponsorship but Disney’s Own Christmas parade they pre record and broadcast disrupts the area in fron of the castle for a few days.

"Chewing gum" is the better lyrics. "Cherry cola" is not only better lyrics, it makes more sense. Cherry cola would be easier to replicate as a taste or flavor. Cherry is a recognizable flavoring, and used to try to disguise the regular flavors in a bunch of horrible products, i.e., when they are trying to slip something inferior or disgusting past you.

I never even knew about the original lyrics of either.

11:46 you are welcome

Tom Scott: "It's time to play is this an advert?" NOprojects: "This is the perfect place for an ad break." Me: "Yes, this is blatantly an ad." I had to stop and mentally register the skip button in the corner of the ad. Well played, NOprojects.

NOprojectsr: drinks a soda during the video The UK: OY YOU GOT A LOICENCE FOR THAT SODA

Tom Scott hitting a vape and trying to casually continue his topic before coughing up a lung is exactly why I kept watching

🤘🏼 👏🏼 YES YES YES! Spot on!! Please make a 2.0 in a year!!!

Anyone else really want to do to Disney World?

You could replace, 'This video is not sponsored' with, 'Your name here'. Or not.

NOW I HAVE URGE TO DOWNLOAD ADDICTIVE NOT GAMBLING GAME

So Casino Royale should have been Advertisement Royale

11:45 Don't thank me :>

The unbranded chewing gum lost its flavor long before you stick it to the bed post.

Hey, look into The "Coca Cola" Song, produced by the bollywood industry

Hilarious, informative, and appreciated. Thanks for your work!

Probably because NOprojects content is as low-effort as it gets while attracting a massive audience. NOprojectsrs have little to lose by deceiving people with bad products so they had to regulate it somehow.

Simple solution: Opt out, don't show ads.

For crying out loud, Tom, now I want Samara to climb out of my doorbell.

I love tom

I think there should also be laws where celebrities or influencers could be held partially liable for harmful products that they promoted. It would make a lot of them pause before just blindly accepting money and saying "This product is great!".

Having a screen of logos after ads and before movies would be cool. Imagine the prestige of a bond movie wearing rolex, aston martin and jaguar as medals. Imagine how great it'd be for ford to be a medal there on the same board.

a little tangent to topic but also why should ad designers be exempt from having to declare authorship? change that and change advertising.

11:55 This is a failure. Now I want to inhale too much of a nictone-less flavour-less vape and cough like Tom Scott

Yep. Wayne and Garth taught us nothing.

You forgot an asterisk.... Land of the free* *Most of the time it's not actually free

And yet influencers are allowed to advertise dodgy products and services without getting their videos flagged for fraud.

Everyone loves censorship so long as the dictator agrees with them. Reference: Democrats and big tech in the U.S.

This video is an advertisement for the town of Dover

I don't think requiring a TV show or video to state the ads inside is against free speech, because you're not prevented from speaking, it's just truth in advertising

Is that a kanger tech

wtf why exactly at the moment you said " is this an advert" i got an ad

"How many kids told their parents they wanted to go to Disneyworld after seeing that show?" ... Me

Just surprised they advertised the American version in Florida, instead of Euro Disneyland just 200km south of Brittain.

Also anyone having more youtube ads like since 1-2 monthes ago?

In Germany there is a law that forces TV shows to declar product placement. It is shocking how often this tag is seen for TV shows, soap operas etc.

And still somehow it doesn't apply to children's programming like Transformers or Paw Patrol, that consist of 100% product placment.

16:25 so tom scott is tomscotter than tom scott?

Honestly, if the Farrow & Ball sketch got anyone to buy that paint, I'd be shocked. I've never heard of them, and it seems like they used a British paint company to make it simultaneously legitimate but also a paint company that *most* people wouldn't have heard of.

Political ads are banned in the UK? That sounds amazing!

Dear @Tom Scott Did you know that Vitamin-D endorsements and mention of medical research are banned from marketing material in Finland in connection with our current epidemic as well as some other locales. Sort of like saying I drink water to stay hydrated is illegal. It is a shame really because it might put an end to the worst effects of seasonal infections and many other immune and autoimmune related diseases that there is proven research for causality and even more of correlation. If you want to stick it to the stuck in the mud regulators and do the world population a solid by shortening the period of restrictions we live under I recommend you look into it. vdmeta and vitaminDwiki are good places to start.

"Is this and advert?" Ad plays. I like your humor.

If you are "influenced" by something you see or hear on any media you are beyond help.

Not necessarily true. Take kids for example. They're susceptible to most things that are being told to them that they'll just take it as face value. But granted while they grow up, because they go through a repetitive cycle, they come to realize how the world works. Imo the biggest issue with it is how the educational environment is terrible outright in most places and they're stubbornness to not update their teaching methods to include stuff like that.

It's asinine that money is considered "free speech", anyway. Since when is money free?

People don’t realize that Tv is absolutely stuffed full of advertisements even in the Scripts of the programs and product placement.

Expecting ethics from capitalism is like teaching a Tyrannosaurus rex how to play piano. They just weren't built for that purpose.

Ah, yes. Wouldn't it be nice if Cooperations ran by people treated people like people instead of sheep.

Thanks for such an informative video! You did an incredible job laying out the information here, and all of the parties involved. But... you're right. As a person with a strong opinion, I definitely disagree with one statement. "You should have the right to know when you are being advertised to." As crazy as it sounds, here in the US, I don't think that that would be right. However, I am on board with keeping regulations consistent across different mediums and platforms. The point about the parasocial relationship to social-media influencers is a really interesting one though. Again, thanks for the work you're doing!

AMEN

just HOW can you look 40 and 4 at the same time?

28:00 nobody, and I mean nobody, actually considers corporations people. Corporations are MADE UP of people, they are a group acting in a coordinated fashion, the same as trade unions or guilds or the class of a class-action suit. So you can't restrict so-called "corporate free speech" without restricting the free speech of the individuals that actually made it. Pepsi don't make Pepsi ads, because Pepsi is not a living entity; Pepsi's copywriters do and Pepsi's management endorses it. And all of those are, you guessed it, people. The "corporations aren't people" rhetoric is borderline Marxist rhetoric that a certain class of people aren't human.

Asbestos Land looks like a great theme park!

It's common knowledge here in the US that corporations have more rights to do things individuals cannot. To include but not limited to legalized bribery, better known as lobbying. It's only time until corporations are give legal right to vote in political elections here in the land of the free.

Bravo! Over half an hour, and I am not tired of your voice, nor the subject; well done! Many thanks to the off-camera Tom Scott for keeping this channel going.

NOprojects just wants to cover their behinds in any and all ways possible, limiting as much liability on themselves as they can and putting it all on you. Also yea, there's double standards of how these things are interpreted and enforced all over the place, not just on NOprojects, but in general. Part me of thinks part of why TV gets away with a lot more than online influencers is the gigantic lobbyist system the big, old dinosauric TV companies and their affiliates have helped the system be way more strict against what they view as their competition and much more lenient with themselves. Lawmakers and regulators for a given industry are often essentially bought and paid for by the biggest/richest/most established entities in said industry, instead of actually regulating against them.

I totally need that doorbell tho.

11:46 is the best part of this whole video

Because NOprojects people don't have lobbyists working for them to get them tax breaks, free land, and so on. All those perks people give Hollywood et al costs governments/taxpayers $325,000 per person, so not worth it at all.

Thank you for helping us be aware

"We'll be right back after these messages," "mY mESsage!"

"Taken as religious text" nowadays idk if that's a joke or hes being serious constitution is swiss cheese and more of recommendation letter in todays day and age

Haha never try to talk with a lungful of vape. Never ends well 😂

All I have to say is we will be back right after these messages from our sponsors and viewers like you! In other words they do declare ads, just like if you were to cut away and say "this video is brought to you by Bang Her Mash Brothel"

Aren't the things you're comparing against those types of things that are presumed to be fantasy? Whereas 'influencers' are presumed to be realistic? I would argue that's why the differentiation exists.

Oh wow, this really takes me back to my youth when I would rock out to Does the Spearmint Lose Its Flavor On the Bedpost Overnight?

🖕 the Government

I still can't stop thinking about soulja boy wearing that superman shirt that was blurred.

Talking crap about the mouse. I wonder when/if they will find Toms body.

Well then why doesn't NOprojects practice what they preach? The entire company is one big advertisement for NWO satanists.

What do u mean by declare the advertisement,,

7:44 The former POTUS proved that these U.S. rules/laws are more like a pirate code (more of a guideline that one is free to ignore if it suits one's purposes and one has enough money and/or political clout to avoid the consequences of ignoring those rules/laws.).

You get a like because you mentioned the Kinks and their song Lola

When the ad popped up at 12:33 I nearly lost it. The timing was too perfect. “IS THIS AN ADVER-“ *ad*

Wouldn't it be "Draw the line just *above*"? Implying they are compliant to the line? Drawing the line just below what they do sounds like knowingly crossing the line and a hard position to defend

I like the political ad restrictions you have over there, maybe it wouldn't have led to some of the idiots that we have in office today... the Comics Code is still enforced, the stupid should be protected from themselves, I suppose...

The Vape made me Sub So it actually did work...

We should create regulatory rules for applying critical thinking instead.

Did you get paid for mentioning BBC so many times? :-)

makes me curious about how stuff like yugioh works, in terms of advertising disclosure. the shows were edited for US releases for years (and afaik still are?) to not show the actual physical cards. to me that always seemed like a legal obligation to avoid product placement, but i've never actually looked at it. where is that line drawn? is the whole show an advertisement for cards? what about games like cool spot or pepsiman? this goes so deep. help

Here we have 🌈lobbying🦄 in action.

Excellent ad timing

time to play is this an advert: ad starts just one letter from the ending of the spoken word advert. classy google algorithm nonsense

I got as when I open Is video

The FTC itself is unfair and deceptive. a bunch of hypocrites nothing more.

"Och, that is awful. Don't vape, kids!" (31:38) The most important message of this video imho.

That vape cough made you worthy of my thumbs up
