TK Jewelers is a scam.
The jewelry’s fake.
Watch exploded on date… Bent wrist, thing fucking exploded.
Benn Jordan did that at the end of his Flock Safety video, shit-talking some companies that keep bugging him for sponsorships
“This video was sabotaged by FedEx. This product I’m reviewing was ordered twice. The first time, it was damaged by the delivery driver.”
These sponsorships already seem like anti ads. If you buy crap from influencers, that’s on you.
Sure, but let me tell you about Legendary Shadow Raids…
This is 100% how I operate, it’s total bias confirmation. If it’s not a product I use, it’s got to be trash. If it’s someone I like and something I already like then I’m glad stars have aligned to support the person I like. Which is rarely the case.
And if it’s unskippable ads, or the same ad more than once in an hour, that product or service is dead to me for life.
Real. Every commercial I see these days makes me now question the product integrity, even if I’ve been using the brand for years. I stopped using Oral-B recently bc I’d associated it with unskippable ads whenever I use youtube on the TV. It’s like reverse subliminal messaging lol
Benn Jordan did exactly this in his recent video on AI police cameras (at the 31:00 mark)
Road Guy Rob on YouTube does parody sponsorship bits, making fun of things like VPN ads sometimes, when thanking his viewers for supporting him.
The youtuber popular Papameat did this with Swig when he was reviewing and making fun of the show secrets lives of Mormon house wives.
Every 5 minutes was a sponsored swig break, where he would talk about how shit their soda is and how dumb it is to shop there.
“This video is in spite of…”
People remember names more than opinions. It wouldn’t surprise me if this was still a net gain for the company.
“And I’ll happily edit out this summary of my horrible experience with Factor Meals for $1,050 per video!”
One of the things I absolutely hate is how every YT sponsor is thanked for “making this video possible”.
It is perfectly possible to make a well produced video without sponsors or merch, even if you work full time you can do it on the weekends, it will take far longer, sure, but the video would not be impossible to make just because you don’t have sponsors.
Sure it is a technicality, but an important one.
If you can’t earn money, you might make a few videos but it’s unlikely that you can run a successful channel. Not to mention upfront investment needed for some types of content - travel and product reviews come to mind.
“making it possible” is a correct phrasing.I get what you mean, I guess what I actually want to see is a change from “made this video possible” to “helped make this video possible”
I don’t like the idea that we give sponsors full credit for making a specific video possible.
Eh, I am nitpicking, it just annoys me.
If I had a popular YouTube channel, I’d definitely do this for Magic Spoon after it made everyone in my house violently sick.
Ugh Magic Spoon. Where they magically spin up milk proteins into sweet tasting cereal.
The real magic is trying to eat it really fast and not chew too much so that the whey globules don’t get stuck into your teeth like milk tack throwing off your next meal.
I wondered how the hell they made grain-free cereal. That sounds disgusting af. Also: What if you were lactose intolerant? You couldn’t even eat the cereal dry!
What if you were lactose intolerant?
Then it is not a product for you, hopefully your accustomed to reading labels.
You couldn’t even eat the cereal dry!
Shudder… You would be picking milk proteins out of your teeth for the next day, week if you don’t floss…
Its not a good cereal, even if you love milk proteins. It has no redeeming qualities other than being high in protein, and like a third of Americans are lactose intolerant.
When Costco gets a new product, they promo it really cheap usually and Magic Spoon was one such product. I threw most of it out, I think it was like froot loops flavored. It tasted like fruit loops if you crunched and quickly swallowed it down with milk. The moment it hits your tongue however it starts tasting like bad dry whey protein sitting on your tongue.
I’m sorry, “high protein cereal”? I’m just imagining a cooked hamburger patty, shredded and drenched with milk. What in the absolute fuck?
There are high-protein foods that aren’t meat. Chickpeas and other legumes, for one.
What do these things do anyway? So far I’ve just been specifically avoiding stuff labeled high protein. I don’t know what it should do, but it’s probably the marketing before tuning into “low protein” just like high carb craze being followed by low carb.
As far as I know (and I am not an authority on this matter at all), high protein is a fairly good idea. You need it for muscle growth and repair, and it generally helps to keep you feeling full for a long time.
HOWEVER… You still need to be eating the other good stuff too. So like boosting a salad with some scoops of high protein cottage cheese? Probably a great idea, and much better than normal dressing. Eating a cereal that’s probably mostly carbs with added milk protein? Far less ideal. Using that same cereal as a crunchy booster topping on a yogurt with some fruit? Back to great idea again.
We just got it because one person in the house has Celiac disease, and it was supposed to be good for people with that.
It’s actually mostly made out of milk. It’s… edible.
Yo dawg, I heard you like milk…
It’s probably got whey added
Did you measure servings? A big Forgetting Sarah Marshall bowl is gonna wreck your GI.
I eat 1-2 servings at most and weigh them and I’ve never had a problem. It is nice to have something relatively healthy that mimics sweet cereal once in a while.
If I ever get into making youtube videos one thing I’d want to do the moment I get contacted by some stupid company like factor is make my own little ad where I put a little ipecac on the food and repeat the companies name while I vomit up everything from that week, see if that would get them to leave me alone
Comedian Frankie Boyle has a funny bit about blackmail sponsorships where you threaten to say negative shit about a company if they don’t pay you. Like, you’re watching Law & Order and suddenly it’s
“Caught another pedo Sarg.”
“Oh? What was he doing when you caught him?”
* faces camera *
“Eatin Walker’s Crisps®” .
LMAOOOO
Literally the most boring crisp as well. So he’s got a point.
“And now I would like to take a few minutes to give a big fuck you to AT&T at the Auburn outlet mall for stealing $685 from me”
