Current Events > It's gross when youtubers do better help sponsorships.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I assume all these products that are mass sponsoring youtubers are trash, but presumably if a youtuber somehow convinces you to buy a hello fresh subscription, you will actually get some food and recipes mailed to you. You will get a metal cardholder if you heed a youtuber and buy a ridge wallet.

Trying to get your audience to sign up for a therapist service on behest of a giant corporation without knowing anything about this service that is directly targeting their mental health is fucking deplorable. I can't find any positive word on it from mental health professionals. If you can get a sponsorship from better help, I'm sure you can get a sponsorship from hundreds of other companies that are just offering consumer goods like razors for your balls. They don't need to take this particular moneybag and yet they do.

They shouldn't anymore. Apparently it came out that Better Help is a scam

This is pretty much the only one that isn't a scam. Well, I guess the food ones like Hello Fresh are not technically scams but I bet they're quite over-priced for what you get.

Ive been hearing advertisements for BetterHelp on Spotify lately. Thats definitely disconcerting to say the least.

The thing that was always telling to me about Better Health, even before hearing anything negative about it, is that I watch a few doctors on YouTube and I never saw any of them sponsor it, despite them sponsoring a lot of the other common sponsorship things.

YouTube sponsorships are always weird.

I get it, they need the money and beggers can't be choosers sometimes. But mental health is a pretty important thing that these guys don't excell at.

I've seen a few expose videos on Better Help and it does not sound good. Kinda amazing they're still around, to be honest. The grift has been going on for a while.

Also shouldn't be surprising at what you tubers take on. I still the random person shilling that fake land title crap that was going on a while back and proven to be a complete load of shit.

Was that ever really sold as being an actual lord?
I always saw it as the same as buying a star and not something that was ever actually recognised and more just a novelty gift than anything (and still a waste of money)

The established titles sponsorships always said that according to scottish law you could totes call yourself a lord by owning land there.

It was a pretty obvious scam.

I mean, ive been signed up with BetterHelp for a few years now and its helped.

But i feel like the excessive promotions on YT videos and Spotify is just a cash cow on their part, not to actually help people.
