Keep in mind, don't follow Youtube's guidelines... follow the FTC. Youtube is supposed to follow the FTC guidelines. The FTC isn't supposed to follow Youtube's guidelines. Youtube is stupid, and their documentation on FTC guidelines is always outdated. This should come as no surprise to anyone.

0:00 Make sure you check out our game!
0:09 Why am I making this video now?
0:26 The problem.
0:50 What does this have to do with me?
1:41 How it started.
2:24 TheActMan confessing.
2:32 This goes way beyond just TheActMan.
3:08 The team behind Delta Force didn’t know I was also the developer for another FPS game.
3:25 I am not the only one who gets these invitations.
3:42 What is this program about?
4:22 The Delta Force creator program is for paying off creators.
5:05 Why is Delta Force such a good example of this problem?
5:50 Highest paid "Creator Event" creator for December.
7:06 This program is not for "getting updates," it is about getting paid.
8:01 Evidence of creators promoting Delta Force in hit pieces on other games, without disclosing that they are being paid.
9:04 Evidence of creators actively lying about being in paid programs for Delta Force.
10:09 Do you see or hear any disclosure that this creator is in a paid program to promote Delta Force?
11:19 More examples of additional random paid creators who aren't disclosing that they are in a paid program.
12:38 I will be creating a backed-up case file on Google Drive containing all evidence I've shown here.
13:03 The evidence that this is happening is overwhelming. The only question is, why are so many creators lying about it?
13:54 BigFryTV is in this exact same program, and has access to all of this evidence. So why didn't he show any of it?
14:30 BigFryTV admitting that he knew TheActMan didn’t disclose that he was paid to create a review for Delta Force.
14:52 If it "pissed him off" so much... then where are his videos about this program and all the other creators breaking the law?
15:14 I told everyone that if they took money from a competitor and did a hit piece on our game without disclosing it, we'd have legal issues.
16:14 I don’t dislike negative criticism at all. As long as it’s honest.
16:59 So then why does BigFryTV have such a massive issue with me?
17:32 BigFryTV has an incorrect understanding of advertising law, which I have been trying to communicate to him for a long time now.
18:00 Title 16 Chapter I Subchapter B Part 255 § 255.5.
19:39 If your goal is to suppress this information by attacking me, or griefing my game, then you are proving my point.
20:15 If I’m right, then a huge number of content creators have been violating trade law for years… and it’s only getting worse.
20:48 If you don’t believe me, go talk to an attorney.
21:15 Some people say "why do you care about the law so much?" But a lot of these same channels exist to call out devs breaking the law.
21:31 But that isn’t even what I care about. I care about foreign studios breaking the law while I try to follow it.
22:09 Thought experiment… if I did the exact same thing, would it be okay? If the answer is no, then why is it okay for them?
22:20 We don’t pay influencers for coverage. We never will pay influencers for coverage.
22:52 People are so suspicious of paid creators now, that it isn’t even worth it anymore. Paying off creators actually hurts your brand.
23:20 Everyone just needs to follow the law. How is this even a problem?
23:46 If you want me to apologize, hire an attorney and have them explain why I’m wrong to my attorneys.
24:01 All evidence is linked in the description.
24:23 If you all keep doing this, you’re going to trigger a class action lawsuit or FTC investigation (or both).
25:18 I miss the gaming community we used to have.
25:42 Our game comes out tomorrow. If you’re being paid off by a competitor, and you compare us to them… disclose it.
