    Counterpoint, there was just new information put out on one of the most prolific content sponsors (honey) and the literal fraud they’ve been perpetrating over the years. With more to come.

    In general, the higher the payout the scummier the sponsor.

      Man that Honey fraud was so dirty—glad they were exposed so virally. Now is that a baby/bathwater situation?

      Fraud bad, Becca-like people good

        There were more scams than just honey. That was just the latest one.

        When YouTube sponsorships continue to be scams over and over it makes it very difficult to trust ANY YouTube sponsorship.

        Also fuck ads. I wouldn’t wanna see them even if they weren’t a scam.
