Fundamental life advice: never trust a product from a youtuber/influencer sponsorship

• Raycons - overpriced repackaged cheap bullshit
• Hello fresh - last years workers were on strike for shitty work conditions and there’s reports of union busting. Never have i seen a youtuber acknowledge this at all
• Adam and Eve - the dildos aren’t all from body safe materials. Don’t risk it with cheap dildos it can fuck your body up
• Audible - owned by amazon
• Idk which one but one of the vpn ones mined bitcoin from ur computer and they’re useful but generally falsely advertised, not a big tech person but this guy talks about it
• All the fit teas and shakes etc are bullshit that just makes you poop and loose water weight short term
• Raid shadow legends - lol do i even need to explain this one
• All the loot crates - filled with cheap junk they’re getting wholesale
• The online coupon thingies are a data harvesting scam. Just google the shop name + coupon when shopping
• The online therapy better help was a whole big controversy and i still see this shitty company being promoted

Idk maybe the learning platform ones are the exception but i never looked into them

Adding on to this.
Skillshare is hard to cancel. There’s a slight chance this has changed but when I looked into subscribing, there was a lot of people complaining about having to email the company multiple times to cancel.

Since Squarespace is templets, they legally own whatever you make. If you decide to change providers, you can’t take it with you. You’re stuck with them forever or have to rebuild your website from the ground up. You at least own the domain name so there’s that, but for me it’s not worth the work if I have to restart should I ever decide I hate the company.

I want more people to know this because every time I’ve looked into something advertised by youtubers, it’s never been good.

we are in a media literacy crisis

friendly reminder that characters don’t need to be saints to be entertaining. and telling a story does not mean endorsement. art does not need to be all about morally good people.

i’m not really a hater so much as a disliker. occasionally the fires of hate burn within me but mostly i just encounter things and go hm. don’t like that.

yknow, i used to be vers. a vers bottom, even. sure, i’d flip fuck every once in a while *crowd raucously cheers and claps* – thank you, yeah, thanks – but the catcher’s mitt was my home turf, know what i mean ? that’s where the magic happened. but nowadays – now that, yknow, nobody wants to work anymore – i happen to be a vers top. that’s how the cookie crumbles, folks. i tried to take it slow, changed my grindr profile to Vers, but yknow what happens when you tell people, when you put it out there to, yknow, these puppygirls and catboys and all them, that you’re versatile, you say you swing both ways, and all they hear is Top. they say there’s a top shortage, right ? *crowd boos and sneers* that’s right. so i don’t even bother anymore. what they don’t tell you, alright – what they don’t teach you these days is that it takes some real vulnerability to be the top. yeah, that’s right. when you’re a bottom, you think, yknow, this is as vulnerable as it gets, right? to have someone inside of me ? *crowd erupts with laughter* but through that same mechanism, the bottom experiences desire internally, that’s the secret. and for the top, it’s external– the top has to extend desire, has to make desire known – to reach out there, hands exposed to the void between hearts, and say: i want you *crowd gasps, shuffles nervously in their seats* and that’s it, folks. that’s all she wrote. tops- topping, from that precipice, is the endless enumeration of ways to want. and that’s why nobody wants to do it anymore.
