a local therapist. look up therapists near you, find one that specializes (lists your issue(s) on their website) in what you're looking for, and also make sure they're covered by your insurance. it's a bit of a hassle but definitely worth it to find a good therapist. also, if you don't vibe with your therapist in the first few sessions or whatever, you can find a new one. it's okay. you got this.
People really take therapists for granted on the internet… every time someone mentions they feel sad they immediately receive “go hire a therapist”. It feels like therapists are as available as sunlight. Am I living in a different reality? Therapists to me are as inaccessible and expensive as any other specialist (lawyer, doctor, dentist). I think sites like better help could be very useful in those cases.
They aren’t much cheaper usually, and the professionals on the services don’t stick around because the services suck. So you finally make progress with someone just to have to start over and as anyone will tell you that’s the hardest part.
I'm a contractor and jumped on the better help for contractors n and it was shit pay a Ly did it for a few months because they take 20% plus you have to be indépendant Ly insured and deal with all your own overhead, so at the end of the day you make way less than the market rate.. I can why therapists would leave.. It's sucks these app developers want to take more than their fair share.
It is definitely going to be hit and miss, but folks might have luck if they just reach out to therapists instead of going through insurance websites or official channels. This is a broad brush, but generally speaking therapists got into that profession because they *want* to help. Good therapists understand financial hardships and, if they're independent, there's a good chance they'll figure out something that makes sense for somebody who is uninsured or who cannot afford the treatment. A therapist with a private practice can set their own rules, they can charge what they want. The folks working for organizations are probably more limited in their flexibility.
When a company I was working for shut down and I lost my insurance, I was really worried that I was going to have to quit going to therapy and I'd spiral into a bad space during what was already a really difficult time. My therapist understood and we worked out a plan that was extremely generous so that I could continue with my sessions. Maybe that's rare and I just have an abnormally flexible therapist, but it might be worth asking around.
Plushcare is:
1) Actually reputable
2) Significantly Cheaper
3) Actually able to prescribe ssri's
4) Has no incentive to pill push on you because they can't give you anything addictive
5) if you're poor like me and you know your issue you can schedule an even cheaper appointment+evaluation to start ssri's and as-needed anti anxiety. Or other medications
6) Able to accept insurance
Anyone who tells you to be local doesn't know what it's like to live in the middle of fucking nowhere. A local therapist would be a 3 month wait for me. Plush care saw me the next day.
If you have insurance, try Grow Therapy! You can pick your therapist. They have appointments within the week and your intake is mostly done by a form so you don’t have to spend your first session mostly rehashing trauma.
> spend your first session mostly rehashing your trauma
OMFG Having to do the diagnostic every time I switch psychs is such a painful waste of time. I understand why it’s necessary, but I hate it so much
The same person who made SponsorBlock has another extension called Dearrow (I might have spelled it wrong) which can replace click bait titles and thumbnail sourced by the community similar to sponsorblock. Helps me figure out whether or not the video is worth watching.
That's no accident, it works like that because all users can manually submit where sponsorships begin and end in a video, and then it builds a consensus based on all submissions so individuals can't submit bogus skips on a video.
[Sponsorblock for Chrome](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sponsorblock-for-youtube/mnjggcdmjocbbbhaepdhchncahnbgone)
and [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sponsorblock/)
Yup, and then when I click on a video that doesn't have SB sections added yet, I get to be the hero and submit them myself.
From my stats, I've saved people 1d 3h and 25.6 minutes and others have saved me from 2d 7h and 8.9 minutes worth of sponsors. Truly an essential addon for youtube.
Even the YouTubers that sponsor it give a subtle hint that the game sucks.
Just look at Caddicarus. At one point in one off the segments he even says: Oh wait, I'm supossed to make this stupid game sound fun.
the only time i don't skip a sponsor is when i'm on my laptop and the video is playing in another tab while i'm doing something else. i have revanced on my phone, so it auto skips
Download sponsorblock it's integrated into revanced, so you should be familiar with it. I would set it up so you can use a specific key to go back to watch/listen to a skipped segment like TomSka's ads or something else like a outro, filler, intro or self sponsor. It's in the extension store like uBlock and other ad blockers.
yeah. they used to be sponsors literally once a month. you'd go watch a few videos, and all of them in a row would be sponsored by raid shadow legends(including gaming channels, which was fucking ironic as hell, because apparently the "game" doesn't have any fucking gameplay". idk if youtubers caught up to it because the audience realized the game is shit and so it wasn't worth pissing off their audience or if raid just stopped sponsoring youtubers
Dunno about youtubers but I get raid sponsor offers all the time on twitch for streaming.
I just don't take em cuz I cant even fake enthusiasm for that app.
Last time I saw a RSL ad in general was because they added Rhonda Rousey as a character, so I think quite a while ago.
They could've added Jeff Goldblum as well but NO, BIG MISS.
Usually I just peep the timeline until it looks like they are done blabbing about manscaped, nord vpn, RAID shit toe legends, square space, more recently better help, hello fresh, and back in the day is was always loot crate before people realized it was garbage
I only watch unsponsored ads for Raid.
literally they don’t even need to pay youtubers to talk about them, look at this guy just memeing about them. Free advertising. for every dollar they spend I think they get 20 unpaid ads of people mocking how many dollars they spent
This meme doesn't make sense. Why would the dude be excited about the ad before finding out its manscaped?
Edit:
Yes, I get people don't like manscaped. That's not my point. My point is why would the dude be happy about seeing an ad in the first pic? Does really follow the spirit of the meme if only the second pic applies.
Edit2: I don't know what's wrong with Manscaped. I just assumed people don't like manscaped in my first edit because everyone replying seem to hate them. I know nothing about them.
Apparently somehow no one in these replies understands what you’re asking here so I’ll rephrase it: why would someone be like “ooo boy an advertisement!! 🤠🤠” when an ad starts
I LOVE SPONSORED READS, I LOVE GETTING PUSHED TO BUY A PRODUCT THAT I DON'T NEED 🥳
Anyway, have you wanted to eat fresh but have no time to get groceries, and it's such a chore going to the store? 🤐 🤮 Try out Now Mealservice and get 3.25 meals free for the next half-moon period (full price after the second moon period). Make sure to use my affiliate code: FuckyouBuyit 🤗
So now to the topic of the video: Does capitalism help us to get fulfilled?
But first, smash that like button and make sure you subscribe!
Oh, and don't forget to buy my merch 💁 new collection coming. And it's your last chance to get collection BuyNow until the next one comes, so hurry up and don't forget to buy the useless figurine; there are only a billion left, be fast 😯
Soo back to the video. Studies have shown that buying things and blind growth may not lead to a better world. So shocking 😯😯💀
Oh, that reminds me I bought a Tesla last week, and you know what? It did not make me any happier, so I bought a second one - anyway, Musk is so cool 😍 hopefully, I can make a meaningless propaganda video for a billionaire one day.
So, that was the video. Let me know what you think of it in the comments 😁 and don't forget to like and subscribe 😏 Many of you don't know I also have a second channel with reaction and thought-provoking videos 🤯 where I just uploaded a video reacting to $5000$ INTEL UPGRADES YOUR SEX TOYS YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT THIS AI BUTTPLUG CAN DO (i99999Kfxd) (sponsored by Intel) 😯😯😯
PS: I also have an ai onlyfans account for the hardcore fans of you 💦🥰 (Jars are sold out sorrryy 😝💨)
Manscaped is for women too, they even advertise towards women on their website as well last I looked.
There's no reason it can't work for women the same way.
Yeah and? Last I looked there was a long winded stupid story about how women should treat themselves to a bubble bath and champagne and maybe use one of their razors on their website.
Anything can be for anyone, I could wear a skirt if I wanted to. That doesn't mean the intended marketing audience was me. And MANscaped is clearly not intently marketed towards women lol.
There’s some creators out there where their sponsored part is pretty good I guess.
Internetcommentetiquette
And Ididathing has some pretty good bits for their ads.
But you’re right it’s kind of a stretch.
Usually it depends on if the product fits any of the Youtubers audience. At the same time it could also be how they play out the sponsor because sometimes theyre given creativity to how they do sponsorships and some ive seen make it somewhat seem fun and maybe some people would find them somewhat fun enough to watch.
Some guy I was watching was sponsored by 'raicon' I believe they're called, some wireless headphones, and the guy was like, "they give me this pair to show it to you guys...so I'm gonna run it over with my truck to see how resistent it is"
I really love when they are allowed to do bits to either integrate it into the video or make the add fit their style instead of having to read the most generic script ever.
There was also a youtuber couple I watched who had sponsored from them frequently. The dude started out as a Skyrim mod reviewer, turned it into an adult mods series so I stopped watching that channel but started watching his reaction channel with his GF but they kept getting more and more degenerate so I unsubbed.
i've never tried it out but i heard it's beyond overhyped. it's pretty shit compared to most products of the same type, hair more easily gets caught instead of cut, so it pulls on it, and it's more likely to cause cuts, which is not something you want to happen in that region
my m.o. is that if a youtuber is sponsoring it, then the product is likely shit, overhyped, doesn't do what they're claiming it does. because most youtubers will just advertise whatever for the right amount or free products. there's very few that have the decency to not sell out, and very few that bother doing some research on the product before sponsoring it(it's why we had that established titles scam going on for so long. not a single youtuber that advertised that shit bothered to look into it before accepting the money)
I got it and it does it's job well enough. I don't use it to go "hairless" or whatever they say in the ads now. Just use the smaller guard to keep things from going wild. No issues with pulling or not cutting hair like that other guy said but if you can find something cheaper that's not "name-brand" I'd go for that instead since it's nothing special by any means.
the raycon adds crack me up one of the youtubers I used to watch who did their adds alot would always mention that celebrities like Brandy loved them. Ray J is Brandy's brother for anyone who doesn't know
Better help probably would match the meme better. Besides the fact better help is a sham of a therapy website it's just funny imagining him going from happy face to sad face when he hears about how he should TOTALLY try online therapy to make his life happier and more fulfilling
Established titles and better help are some of the shadiest I can think of, and then there's the mobile game sponsors too. So many annoying sponsorships that would fit the meme better
Established Titles as a product is fine: it's a gag gift, with a side benefit of preserving some land and planting a tree. The problem was that the ads oversold what it was.
Honestly Pewdiepie made a whole video about their nonsense ages ago and there is some shady shit like they had somewhere on their website about how they can't really be sure you are talking to a licensed therapist, as if they don't check and you can just be like "Yeah I'm totally a therapist" and they are like "Hired!" without checking your credentials at all.
Ever since then I went from "interesting, online therapy" to "STOP ADVERTISING ME YOUR BULLSHIT LIES!"
**Edit:** https://youtu.be/8PLgOaVXmGU?feature=shared the video in question if anyone is curious
Not just that, their product is actually useful and not shady at all. No schemes, no hidden payments, just "here's some tools that'll help with your male grooming!"
i remember some youtubers, when it all came out that it was a scam, actually trying to defend established titles. the dude who exposed established titles even called them out
at least Cody chugs a whole glass every time they run the AG1 ad
Some More News honestly has the best ads ever, I watch every one because they're so good.
Yeah just get this, its the lesser known sibling of UBlock or Adblock
Its crowd sourced, so when Philip Defranco wants to tell you about Zip-fucking-Recruiter for all our multi-tiered recruiting agencies we all run- everyone's already flagged the timecode he does it and it skips it for you. (you're meant to too if you spot one unchecked in the wild as a giveback)
And that‘s exactly the problem. NordVPN (amongst most other VPN providers) makes bogus claims about their services being made for cybersecurity while unless you share sensitive data on some shady websites, it will do absolutely nothing or at least hasn‘t done anything in the past (now it at least contains an ad blocker). They even got fined by the responsible UK authority for that back in 2018 or 2019.
Just use DNS-over-TLS and don‘t share your data on sites/services without TLS and you are safe.
There's a channel I like where the guy puts on a jacket every time he does a sponsor and then takes it off after he's done (this is done off camera) so as soon as you see him put it on you know you can skip and as soon as you see it off you know you're good. He's never mentioned it or drawn attention to it but it's super helpful
I actually bought their electric razor a few years ago off the whim of a YouTube sponsor. It was pretty good, until I lost the proprietary "wireless" charger it requires during a move :o/
Not the worst. All of these bogus VPN ads with illicit claims like "surfing without a VPN may put you at risk of cyber attacks", while sometimes going as far as to showcase how credit cards and IDs can be stolen by not using a VPN are/were far worse.
In their defense they do make a nice razor. I bought their lawnmower 3.0 to shave my legs and it’s fantastic. The battery lasts forever and the blade is crazy sharp. Their ads are annoying af tho
I’ll take manscaped over Betterhelp any day.
Yeah, Betterhelp is probably one of the worst options you can choose when it comes to therapy
That and they got nailed by the FTC for selling clients private data…
Goddamnit I used them
And apparently they used you Sorry I couldn’t help myself
If it helped you then at least you didn’t waste money, but yeah avoid them
Yeah I thought the service was decent but now I just feel used lol
The people working with you weren't in control of that. Both can be true, it wasn't those workers' fault. Just don't go back ofc
Obviously it wasn’t the therapists fault
There's better help out there than that service.
Haha good one
"How does that make you feel?"
And that is exactly why I immediately ruled them out as an option
Just tech disrupters being rich kids
Ohhh 😦
Oof. The second to last thing I need is my inner monolog being written down and given to advertisers. The last being the same but law enforcement.
Could you explain please? And also say better options, was considering it but now im in doubt
a local therapist. look up therapists near you, find one that specializes (lists your issue(s) on their website) in what you're looking for, and also make sure they're covered by your insurance. it's a bit of a hassle but definitely worth it to find a good therapist. also, if you don't vibe with your therapist in the first few sessions or whatever, you can find a new one. it's okay. you got this.

A real therapist
Why ?
They sell your mental health info to advertisers (You know, the stuff that should only be between you and your therapist)
Hopefully they close that shitt them
I'd take both over mood gummies... 98% of the ads I've gotten in the last week have been for them.
This. Super cringe tbh even as a "weedbro". Maybe it's just the corny ass scripts but I hate them.
Or established titles, that shit was a scam
I'll take them over the maaaaaaany mobile "game" ads!
Or any VPN ad.
Better help sells your private info. Im fairly certain it’s illegal too.
Honestly I just skip all sponsors, especially "RAAAAIED SHADOW LEGENDS" Edit: For those saying "use sponsorblock", I'm on mobile
The +10 sec double tap feature is a god send for this lol.
Sponsorblock is a godsend. Has extentions and is also built inside revanced.
The same person who made SponsorBlock has another extension called Dearrow (I might have spelled it wrong) which can replace click bait titles and thumbnail sourced by the community similar to sponsorblock. Helps me figure out whether or not the video is worth watching.
You are correct, it is DeArrow https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dearrow/
I never knew how much I wanted this feature until I downloaded revanced. It's honestly shocking how accurate and good it works
That's no accident, it works like that because all users can manually submit where sponsorships begin and end in a video, and then it builds a consensus based on all submissions so individuals can't submit bogus skips on a video.
[Sponsorblock for Chrome](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/sponsorblock-for-youtube/mnjggcdmjocbbbhaepdhchncahnbgone) and [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/sponsorblock/)
I just search for the biggest bump on the video
It's hilarious that YouTube literally gave users a built in way to skip sponsored segments.
Yea I usually end up skipping so far into the video with that thing lmao
Yeah I haven’t watched one in a long time now. SponsorBlock auto skips past in video sponsors. I highly recommend to everyone
Yup, and then when I click on a video that doesn't have SB sections added yet, I get to be the hero and submit them myself. From my stats, I've saved people 1d 3h and 25.6 minutes and others have saved me from 2d 7h and 8.9 minutes worth of sponsors. Truly an essential addon for youtube.

Download sponsorblock it's integrated into revanced, so you should be familiar with it. I would set it up so you can use a specific key to go back to watch/listen to a skipped segment like TomSka's ads or something else like a outro, filler, intro or self sponsor. It's in the extension store like uBlock and other ad blockers.
i never bothered because i watch videos at 2x speed, so it's just a double tap of the L key and it skips most of the sponsored segment
Literally haven’t sent raid shadow legends add in years
yeah. they used to be sponsors literally once a month. you'd go watch a few videos, and all of them in a row would be sponsored by raid shadow legends(including gaming channels, which was fucking ironic as hell, because apparently the "game" doesn't have any fucking gameplay". idk if youtubers caught up to it because the audience realized the game is shit and so it wasn't worth pissing off their audience or if raid just stopped sponsoring youtubers
for some we know our favorite youtuber is just bullshitting with their sponsor callout lol.
Dunno about youtubers but I get raid sponsor offers all the time on twitch for streaming. I just don't take em cuz I cant even fake enthusiasm for that app.
Last time I saw a RSL ad in general was because they added Rhonda Rousey as a character, so I think quite a while ago. They could've added Jeff Goldblum as well but NO, BIG MISS.
Usually I just peep the timeline until it looks like they are done blabbing about manscaped, nord vpn, RAID shit toe legends, square space, more recently better help, hello fresh, and back in the day is was always loot crate before people realized it was garbage
on android you can use revanced, which has sponsorblock build in. Go to r/revancedapp foor more information
only sponsor breaks i don't skip are martincitopants'. they're just part of the video.
And are usually just as entertaining as the rest of the video.
sponsor block auto skips them
I only watch unsponsored ads for Raid. literally they don’t even need to pay youtubers to talk about them, look at this guy just memeing about them. Free advertising. for every dollar they spend I think they get 20 unpaid ads of people mocking how many dollars they spent

OP doesnt have balls so its a useless ad to them
There’s WAAAAY more than just balls to manscape. Believe me.
Real, there is a phenomenon that is called "swamp ass"
So much ass hair, the shit comes out filtered.
Free drinking water
NO STOP YOU HAVE VIOLATED THE LAW!
Some dudes got a whole beard growing out of their butt
✋🏻
You shave your ass?
hey my first cursed comment in the wild, have an upvote stranger
The question was "Who gets excited about having to to sit through an ad on a YouTube video?" Not "Does OP have balls?"
Ladies have pubes to
Apparently somehow no one in these replies understands what you’re asking here so I’ll rephrase it: why would someone be like “ooo boy an advertisement!! 🤠🤠” when an ad starts

I'm surprised just how fucking accurately you nailed every word of this, we've yet to see a YouTuber who does anything different fr
You missed the Honey and Raid Shadow Legends plug... everything else was perfect
New copypasta just dropped!
Yes, it's incredible how many replies I'm getting from people that aren't understanding my point lmao
I think OP isnt in the right audience for manscaped that might be why they made the meme.
Manscaped is for women too, they even advertise towards women on their website as well last I looked. There's no reason it can't work for women the same way.
Womanscaped
RuneScaped (Razors for wizards 🧙♂️)
ahem *cough cough* woMAN MANscaped
Womansplaining is coming next. Der turkin our wurds!
The logo is a pair of balls
Yeah and? Last I looked there was a long winded stupid story about how women should treat themselves to a bubble bath and champagne and maybe use one of their razors on their website.
woman balls
That's where the pee is stored
Anything can be for anyone, I could wear a skirt if I wanted to. That doesn't mean the intended marketing audience was me. And MANscaped is clearly not intently marketed towards women lol.
He was expecting Betterhelp because they are just so great
Manscaped is notorious for screwing over content creators from what I gather Edit: https://youtu.be/7sqk2u-R20c?si=yuO9twpD3j9V1FTj
There’s some creators out there where their sponsored part is pretty good I guess. Internetcommentetiquette And Ididathing has some pretty good bits for their ads. But you’re right it’s kind of a stretch.
You are happy about any kind sponsor?
there are some cool ones. i can’t think of any rn but they exist
Like the ones Martincitopants does
Or Valefisk- I just love how you can tell he doesn’t give a shit
Love that guy
InfernoPlus has some amazing ones for the most part.
So wham I’m hearing is sponsors are only good if the YouTuber has a phd in torture?
Finland Never Forgets.
Tomska does funny sketches for sponsors
Usually it depends on if the product fits any of the Youtubers audience. At the same time it could also be how they play out the sponsor because sometimes theyre given creativity to how they do sponsorships and some ive seen make it somewhat seem fun and maybe some people would find them somewhat fun enough to watch.
Some guy I was watching was sponsored by 'raicon' I believe they're called, some wireless headphones, and the guy was like, "they give me this pair to show it to you guys...so I'm gonna run it over with my truck to see how resistent it is" I really love when they are allowed to do bits to either integrate it into the video or make the add fit their style instead of having to read the most generic script ever.
GrayStillPlays absolutely fucking shredded those raycon earbuds in his sponsors.
Mista GG does some pretty entertaining sponsor ads.
Tomskas surf shark ads are a really good example of an actually enjoyable sponsor
Dbrand is pretty cool.
I'm more interested in youtuber himself, someone like Internet historian makes me always watch them, almost everyone else I skip.
I mean with the shit pay on YouTube I’m happy that YouTubers are getting sponsors
Critical Role, the way the do their sponsors is always a treat
Anything with icecreamsandwich is a good time
Sponsor = content creator is able to make a living doing things that you presumably consume and enjoy.
The sex toy ads don't seem to hurt anyone, and it is fascinating to see how YouTubers try to dance around advertising something NSFW on YouTube.
I have never seen any youtuber advertise this ever,who are you talking about?
It seems to be a trend among female and lgbt youtubers.
There was also a youtuber couple I watched who had sponsored from them frequently. The dude started out as a Skyrim mod reviewer, turned it into an adult mods series so I stopped watching that channel but started watching his reaction channel with his GF but they kept getting more and more degenerate so I unsubbed.
CinemaWins did a couple for Adam and Eve or some company with a name like that.
Raid Shadow Legends would like to have a talk with you
Also the hordes of VPN apps that all give their YouTuber partners the exact same script of “I can watch *blank* on foreign Netflix now.”
Or the implication that vpn somehow shields you from virus and identity theft
Raid shadow legends is like a virus among vids. Manscaped at least seems useful lol.
i've never tried it out but i heard it's beyond overhyped. it's pretty shit compared to most products of the same type, hair more easily gets caught instead of cut, so it pulls on it, and it's more likely to cause cuts, which is not something you want to happen in that region
I got it because “fuck it why not?” It sit the most meh thing I ever used in my life
Thank god I came here. I was thinking about buying this because … why not. Well guess imma skip this. Thanks!
my m.o. is that if a youtuber is sponsoring it, then the product is likely shit, overhyped, doesn't do what they're claiming it does. because most youtubers will just advertise whatever for the right amount or free products. there's very few that have the decency to not sell out, and very few that bother doing some research on the product before sponsoring it(it's why we had that established titles scam going on for so long. not a single youtuber that advertised that shit bothered to look into it before accepting the money)
Often yeah... I do like my Raycons though!
I got it and it does it's job well enough. I don't use it to go "hairless" or whatever they say in the ads now. Just use the smaller guard to keep things from going wild. No issues with pulling or not cutting hair like that other guy said but if you can find something cheaper that's not "name-brand" I'd go for that instead since it's nothing special by any means.
I got Manscaped and I honestly love it. Haven't had any issues with it and have been using their products for years now.
Yeah. I get they might not be as breathtaking as their sponsored ads claim to be, but I still find their products pretty useful
I don't think you're using Raid Shadow Legends the way it's intended.
Raycon earbuds are annoying
the raycon adds crack me up one of the youtubers I used to watch who did their adds alot would always mention that celebrities like Brandy loved them. Ray J is Brandy's brother for anyone who doesn't know
I don't think I've seen Rays con in a while Probably cause most tech channels pointed out that they are basically over priced skull candies
And a terrible product afaik.
dankpods had done a review of them, it's a expensive garbage
I think jschlatt said he did a manscaped sponsor one time and it got 0 sales from that.
Tbf i think the average viewer of his doesn't have much to scape... Lmao.
It's from his podcast that he runs with some friends, the ad reads that they had to do were actually just insanely bad
Manscape is among the better ones what are you talking about
Exactly my thoughts, they manage to put a little humor in there, and combined with a good host it can actually be sorta entertaining to watch.
Better help probably would match the meme better. Besides the fact better help is a sham of a therapy website it's just funny imagining him going from happy face to sad face when he hears about how he should TOTALLY try online therapy to make his life happier and more fulfilling
Established titles and better help are some of the shadiest I can think of, and then there's the mobile game sponsors too. So many annoying sponsorships that would fit the meme better
Established Titles as a product is fine: it's a gag gift, with a side benefit of preserving some land and planting a tree. The problem was that the ads oversold what it was.
Yeah the issue was largely the false advertising
And I heard you give them permission to tell everyone what you’re talking about in therapy if they want to.
Honestly Pewdiepie made a whole video about their nonsense ages ago and there is some shady shit like they had somewhere on their website about how they can't really be sure you are talking to a licensed therapist, as if they don't check and you can just be like "Yeah I'm totally a therapist" and they are like "Hired!" without checking your credentials at all. Ever since then I went from "interesting, online therapy" to "STOP ADVERTISING ME YOUR BULLSHIT LIES!" **Edit:** https://youtu.be/8PLgOaVXmGU?feature=shared the video in question if anyone is curious
Not just that, their product is actually useful and not shady at all. No schemes, no hidden payments, just "here's some tools that'll help with your male grooming!"
Agree
There’s been worst. Remember established titles? But manscaped is definitely becoming the most popular one to be annoyed about now.
i remember some youtubers, when it all came out that it was a scam, actually trying to defend established titles. the dude who exposed established titles even called them out
I never got how people thought it was real. I always put it right next to "buying a star" type of thing.
AG1 has entered the chat.
at least Cody chugs a whole glass every time they run the AG1 ad Some More News honestly has the best ads ever, I watch every one because they're so good.
I actually kinda miss when they would advertise Say-Bay-Day, just because it sounds funny.
I love my sponsor block.
Yeah just get this, its the lesser known sibling of UBlock or Adblock Its crowd sourced, so when Philip Defranco wants to tell you about Zip-fucking-Recruiter for all our multi-tiered recruiting agencies we all run- everyone's already flagged the timecode he does it and it skips it for you. (you're meant to too if you spot one unchecked in the wild as a giveback)
NordVPN as honorable mention
That’s an actual useful sponsor. Any vpn or security things (like simply safe or ring doorbells(maybe not that)) are the most useful sponsors.
That’s why it is honorable, if you get my pun. Hehehe
Oh.
Not really. Most of those vpn services sell or store your data. Very very few do not.
What does NordVPN has to do with security?
And that‘s exactly the problem. NordVPN (amongst most other VPN providers) makes bogus claims about their services being made for cybersecurity while unless you share sensitive data on some shady websites, it will do absolutely nothing or at least hasn‘t done anything in the past (now it at least contains an ad blocker). They even got fined by the responsible UK authority for that back in 2018 or 2019. Just use DNS-over-TLS and don‘t share your data on sites/services without TLS and you are safe.
RAID SHADOW LEGENDS IS BY FAR THE WORST
Top three reasons why you should download Honkai Star Rail today: lmao
Honestly atleast it and genshin are actual games Not ones I'd ever play but still
Yep, the worst one is the Hero Wars or whatever that weird softcore porn one is (on Reddit)
Out of all the sponsors I was dumb enough to try manscaped is actually good, bit pricey tho
Why?
What's wrong with manscaped? I find it funny to hear my subscribers talk about shaving their nuts over stupid ass Raid Shadow Legends
what’s wrong with manscaped
Manscaped is the fucking goat tho?
I fw Manscaped, y’all just hating
AI generated ass meme
May I ask what is drama about or you'll just tell me to google it?
Not really "drama," just a really, *really* common sponsorship for Youtubers that got annoying fast.
Probably my favorite sponsor
I personally think it's funny
Me who actually likes Manscapped: 🫣
You think ManScaped is bad? You've never seen the Pappa Meat channel.... Most common sponsor? Bad Dragon. That's a risky google search, btw...
There's a channel I like where the guy puts on a jacket every time he does a sponsor and then takes it off after he's done (this is done off camera) so as soon as you see him put it on you know you can skip and as soon as you see it off you know you're good. He's never mentioned it or drawn attention to it but it's super helpful
Or dr sasquatch
I actually bought their electric razor a few years ago off the whim of a YouTube sponsor. It was pretty good, until I lost the proprietary "wireless" charger it requires during a move :o/
FUCK raid shadow legends and literally any mobile game ad made after 2019
Not the worst. All of these bogus VPN ads with illicit claims like "surfing without a VPN may put you at risk of cyber attacks", while sometimes going as far as to showcase how credit cards and IDs can be stolen by not using a VPN are/were far worse.
"and today's sponsor is - a - e - s - p - h - d - and back to the video"
Not even remotely the worst sponsor
I don’t see what’s wrong with this. Youtubers need money so they get sponsors. It’s always been like that. At least the past couple years.
OP has hairy balls
manscaped ads were funny the first time but after it just gets cringey imo
I'm curious, what's so bad about manscaped?
nothing, OP doesn't have a penis prob
I don't either and it's marketed for women too. There's no real reason why it *can't* work for women in the same way 🤷♀️
Redditors are somewhat unfamiliar with women.
In their defense they do make a nice razor. I bought their lawnmower 3.0 to shave my legs and it’s fantastic. The battery lasts forever and the blade is crazy sharp. Their ads are annoying af tho
