* WebAnimation/JamesLee: Invoked in "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlIaut07siU Pewdiepie SΤRΑNGLΕS DOGS!?]]". After he gains a sudden spike in viewership, James tries to up his subscriber-count by making fake scandals based around the "[=YouTube=] 1%", and he picks LetsPlay/PewDiePie as his first victim... and it's right after that does he find out that it was a shout-out from [=PewDiePie=] that suddenly made him so popular.

* WebVideo/MatthewSantoro uploads all of his videos on Website/YouTube. In his video "Catching Up: With Matt! (#1)," he says that he'll take questions posted from his fans on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. He then says that he was gonna take questions from Google +, the social network that is associated with Website/YouTube, but since nobody uses Google +, he didn't bother.

* WebVideo/ProZD's sponsored videos usually fall into this, since he'll spend the entire sketch riffing on a certain game mechanic, often portraying it as [[ScrappyMechanic annoying and exhausting,]] only for the sketch to end by promoting a game that revolves around that exact mechanic. This is extra funny for his Website/{{Crunchyroll}} sponsorships, in which he usually mocks the cliches of anime or the embarrassing fanbase, since he also [[WebVideo/AnimeCrimesDivision has a show on Crunchyroll.]]

* In 2023, ''WebAnimation/LlamasWithHats'' got demonetized and creator Jason Steele retaliated by creating a video titled "Llamas with Hats: Re-Cut for Brand Conscientiousness", where a personification of [=YouTube=] hosts an ad-friendly compilation of the series that poorly edits out all the gore and has Carl and Paul blatantly dubbed over with generic voices that spout bootlicking praises of sponsors and bottled water. Partway through the video, the personification of [=YouTube=] finds himself at the mercy of an empty void that represents the consequences of putting profit over freedom of expression.
