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

Edit: I took my first step and unsubscribed from the channel and I will continue to withhold my viewership to those that don’t take better care of the viewers.

Likely doesn’t matter, but I’m on a roll of not giving my money to companies that are immoral so why not do the same with my eyes.

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.

—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.

edit: removed the aggressive part of my comment

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.

yo dawg I'm not telling you what to think but what you're saying is the fundamental thing the county is made of time and time again. you're just saying these things as a way to see the voices of the big blue building that sacrifices and sacrifices for what? you don't even know.
