Taking a sponsor on the channel, Yes or no.

As you guys know I have never taken a sponsor before on the channel. The only thing I accepted before was the ant colony from Ant Cube.
What you maybe don't know is that I get emails daily from potential sponsors but I turn them all down, both because they just don't fit the channel and I don't want to ''sell out''.
Recently I was contacted by ''opera browser'' to be sponsored in one of my upcoming videos. This was the first company that contacted me that I actually use. I use Opera from time to time when I'm researching things. I have also seen that dr plants was sponsored by opera in his new video.
Now my question to you, do you think I should take their offer? They ask for a 60 second integration showcasing Operas capabilities. I know an add like that could be very disruptive in a video so I would try to blend it in as good as possible with my own style and stupid dad jokes.
Taking this offer would mean I have more funds for bigger projects and I could also justify more putting so much time in this channel. While I really enjoy making content and talking to you guys here it is getting hard sometimes (that's what she said). I think I put around 80% of my free time in the channel, next to my day job.
But this is ofcourse up to you! I just make the stupid videos but you guys are the channel! So if you think I should do it I'm going to ask for some more info and than decide if I take it or not. But if you think this would make me a ''sell out'' or it would disrupt the videos too much I will decline their offer.
Let me know below.
ps: next video is getting there, the video editing part is almost done. Sunday I should be able to do the voice over and then on monday: music, finishing touches (hopefully), thumbnail,....

Not gonna vote, because there's no: "You decide". If it's a product you can genuinely recommend and won't regret trying to "sell" it to your audience, go for it. I'm not your mom. And I'm here for Bobs. Actually, you should take the offer. But only if you promise to have more Bobs in the video.
