Do you have an issue with k-pop groups using YouTube ads?

[renejayde]

I'm curious because I saw a lot of people unhappy about Everglow using ads for Adios, but I've never thought it was a big deal until people started complaining about it. So what are your thoughts?

i have adblocker installed so i've never seen them myself, but i'm not particularly put off by it. its a marketing strategy to get their artist to a wider audience. the people i've seen mad about it often bring up view counts, but if you ask me i think kpop fans nowadays put too much weight on youtube views. sure they have their place, but they aren't more important than album sales

I've heard youtube views count for music show wins (?) dunno. Many views would help the artists/groups attract bigger audiences though I also believe album sales are more important..

People shouldn't be so selfish as to hate ads. They enjoy something for free and the ones who provide that entertainment should get something out of it too... People shouldn't hate ads. It will only take few minutes or few seconds and both parties will get something out of it...

It doesn’t bother me

I also have an ad blocker but even if so I would not mind because they are a entertainment company.

yes music video views (across youtube and naver if i'm not mistaken) count for a percentage for certain music shows, but album sales count for all music shows and are more important for actual revenue than youtube views. and it is true what you say about more views attracting bigger audiences.

Not really.

Personally, i don't have an issue with it. Many groups do the same thing and don't get bashed for it unless they are nugu groups or what not.

I don’t have an issue with it bc it’s part of promoting a group. It’s nice to expand the group’s audience. Also wouldn’t people have to watch the whole ad for the view to count? Because ik i usually skip ads asap
