Veritasium's new video on Jumping Spiders is having its sponsor Better Help on blast in the top comments. Should we hold content creators to account? - tchncs

Should we stop supporting them with our eyes for taking sponsorships from shady companies?

Philip de Franco did a better help sponsor and his community went up in arms about it. now he doesn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole. surprised more communities don’t care about it
most people don’t know anything about it. they skip sponsors and watch the videos. it’s not complicated.

most people.

Meaning not all people, meaning some people can get screwed over. By a content creator they’re supporting.

You’re right it’s not complicate. Just unsubscribe from people that don’t respect the viewers. Or keep watching and only think about yourself and how it affects you.

maybe follow the conversation before you tell me what my own words mean.

—surprised more communities don’t care about it
—most people don’t know anything about it

meaning not all people, meaning some people do know about it, which is why some communities do care, but most don’t know, which is why more communities don’t seem to care.

My apologies.

I was just replying to comments when I woke up and it’s hard to be diligent of comments that are in a wider thread vs top level comments.

I should do better and I will try.
