When any review / podcast / video thingy says brought to you by... sponsored by... with consideration from.



Just shut it off. Its pure marketing spew... Click to expand...

He was disrespectful towards his sponsor, they yanked his sponsorship. Not surprising. When that kind of thing happens, it usually warranted. Big ado about nothing.I think some of the times this is true, but not always.I've seen a few linus tech tips where he mentions a sponsor and it can be something totally unrelated to what he is covering in the video. "Try Amazon online books free for thirty days with code 'linus' during checkout, links below..." Then do a review on a new LCD.Hate to break it to you, but sponsorships for content has been around at least since the introduction of Radio. Then TV, with both commercials then gameshows with sponsors giving away prizes (The Price is Right). Do something negative towards your sponsor, well guess what, they will not be a sponsor anymore. The business of sponsoring is to be promoted by your promoter or 'influencer'. Seems pretty obvious that if you can't do that, then the sponsor is going to cease being a sponsor."Oh hey guys I got to go back to my 970, waahhh.." I call bullshit on that.. the successful streamers make pretty good money. To imply he is 'hurt', he is also implying that he can't afford better. Probably some bullshit to try and up his paid followers via sympathy.
