Over on the Olympics channel:

BONUS LINKS! If you've come down this far, you can see also my videos for Wednesday and Friday in advance:

I went to Hafjell for a mountain bike race, and the area was absolutely gorgeous. This was an awesome overview, didn't know about the dry/humid air part.

As many people have said before this is a great way to handle ads. I also appreciate the little "ad" in the thumbnail so we knew what was coming before clicking on the video.

I thought the title said 'things you might not snow'

For the first time ever I find myself wanting to watch another 'ad' - so I went ahead and already checked out the bonus links. This is a prime example of how to balance high-quality content whilst subtly promoting a product. The 'AD' in the thumbnail is classy, and your transparency is hugely appreciated. Other creators and advertisers need to watch this and learn. I genuinely hope this series helps you to convince other channels to let you produce advertorials for them in the future; if the content is always this good, I'm certainly always going to watch them.

Props to whoever made the Swedish Subtitiles, I don't need them but left them on to see how good they were and they felt spot on all the way trough. Well done.
Also nice video Tom. :)

The slopes of Lillehammer are prepared for the Youth Olympic Games.

I like the way the thumbnail says ad. Easy and subtle.

[iabervon]

Great ad, but I probably still won't buy an Olympics. They're awfully expensive, and don't really go all that well with my existing infrastructure. Also, it's kind of too late to buy the one they were trying to sell me on. I am in the market for some light rail, though, so if you're thinking of advertizing some of that, you might get a sale.

If this is what you make of advertorials I don't see why anyone should be put off. Who cares if you're earning a penny if you're actually making interesting content?

[mxskelly]

I didn't even know this was an ad until I saw on my homepage that it said "AD" in the top right of the thumbnail. It's awesome that it didn't feel like an ad, at all. This is just the kind of video I would expect from this channel and it was presented in just the same way others were. Glad you're getting some more back for your awesome videos :D

[rucdoc]

this is the least ad like ad I've seen. loved it

[Sanguine]

Tom, your videos are great. You are doing very important work! Please never forget how much we need you and more creators like you. Keep making these. ♥

[katinjegat]

First time ever that a YouTube video had correct subtitles, good Job!

[hellterminator]

Is this the thing you talked about on park bench recently? The one that will make you more money than a year of patreon?
I was a bit worried about what you'd have to do for that kind of money, but if this is it, great job!

[ReedoTV]

Thank you for disclosing the ad in the thumbnail. Still enjoyed the video as much as other episodes in this series.

[AkashNayee]

Been a subscriber for a while now, absolutely love your videos, totally unique, interesting and great fun to watch, keep it up Tom!

We use the same thing here in the southern california desert (I live about an hour's drive north from california city) as inexpensive air conditioning, called a swamp cooler. Water is pumped over a pad that air is blown through. The evaporation of water in the low humidity conditions will reduce the temperature from over 110F (44C) to about 85F (30C) using only the about of electricity to run a small blower. It does use quite a bit of water, and only works in very dry places.

One of the things I love the most about this series of videos is hearing those gorgeous Norwegian accents!! :D

[Cronuz]

The sneaky thing is that you actually came to norway without telling me so I could tell you about, and show you around this awesome country!
I used to go to hafjell as a kid, it's an awesome playground!
