YouTube Sponsorships - we all love them. Us the creators love the money, you the viewer love supporting your fav creator and sitting through an ad for a water bottle flavour thing you'd never buy. Many YouTubers rely on sponsors for their income, especially those who upload more infrequently.
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism but does that mean its all fair game? Many YouTubers have long term sponsorships with objectively terrible companies. For someone like me its impossible to dissociate HelloFresh from Kurtis Conner, or BetterHelo from Easy Allies. They essentially become company mascots perhaps unintentionally. When a company is explicitly bad, I don't think its too much to ask that they don't advertise for these companies.
