This poll is now closed.
VG Soundtracks Rushmore is still open due to a delay posting yesterday: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80703440

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just pick the first 4 you say when I do the tally. If you list the same character multiple times I'm going to count it as 1 vote. Be nice to others and their potentially bad opinions. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Don't take this topic series too seriously. If you're going to change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

Sponsor-specific rules: If you are confused what I mean by this, I am not talking about ads that run before/in the middle of YouTube videos, I am talking about when the YouTuber stops the video and says "but before we continue, let's talk about today's sponsor, NordVPN. NordVPN is a VPN service that is very good. Go to NordVPN dot com and use promo code 'Rushmore' for 33% off your first year plus an additional free month. Thank you so much to NordVPN for sponsoring this video. Now, let's get back to the most disgusting things put into jars ever posted on the internet."

i still see raycon regularly, if anything that one's the most consistent. raid i've seen less than the peak period but anytime they have a new event or newbie friendly rollout so, so many youtubers start talking about it again. so really that one's just cyclical to the game but is just always there and always around.

Yeah Established Titles used misleading advertising and also misled all the YouTubers it sponsored to make people believe the piece of paper they sent you actually made you a lord

there is some truth to it but Scottish law was specific that you needed to actually own the land and EstablishedTitles was just leasing it to you and even had some fine print on the website that you wouldnt actually be a lord and this is all just for fun!!!

Skillshare i've heard good things about if you're willing to put the time in. OperaGX is meh. functional browser i suppose but Brave would be better. Raid is western gacha, couldn't care for it or its gameplay. dunno the blue one.

for other ones in the topic uh... Nord is a solid VPN but there's better on price and value. ExpressVPN is pricey by VPN standards but when it comes to privacy we know for a fact they're legit for privacy (literally had data centers raided and nothing was found) so that's the premium. Hello Fresh isn't really worth it unless you have money to burn outside the trial period, same goes for its sister company Every Plate. BetterHelp iirc has had multiple scandals about them not really being proper therapy but they've tried to improve; from the sounds of it they're low budget that can potentially help but be aware that low budget may come with lesser quality (nevermind that actual therapists are often not worth a damn in the first place but that's the subtle part of the pitch). never tried Mandscaped. never tried Raycon but never heard anything good about Raycon either, not even as a bang for buck and i've got way too many headphones. Draft Kings is gambling. SeatGeek is less corrupt Ticketmaster. Audible is decent if you're into audiobooks. i assume Squarespace is actually good but that's because i trust GN and Steve that much.

that's all i've got, i think.
edit: forgot surfshark but i don't know if it's any good. too many recent ads to really tell but feature wise it looks legit. just don't know its pricing.

I generally watch 30 min - 3 hour Youtube essays. Occasionally I watch reviews/How to Play for board games and 4X games. I also generally like watching easter egg or optional dialogue stuff in games; though, I almost always try to stay away from a voiceover or talking head on top of it. Most often, I just use Youtube to listen to music.

It's possible they sponsor it and it just completely goes over my head too!
