@@RazorSharp75426 all good. A few years back there was this huge controversy covered by many commentary channels. Betterhelp doesn’t use licensed therapists, so there were and still are to this day, endless complaints about the quality of the service. As such, these “therapist” are recommending awful advice because they’re basically average joes. On top of that, they say in the TOS that they can sell your info. Info that real therapists would literally go to jail for, if they were to talk about it outside of your sessions. In fact I just did a quick google search to find that betterhelp was docked $7M by the FTC for sharing customer data lol. I’m unfortunately not telling the full story here though, I’m missing a bunch of info since it’s been ages but TLDR: morally bankrupt, and in some ways, definitely illegal.

[@markolitvic6981]

​@@RazorSharp75426 they had unqualified therapists who then proceeded to leak/sell private information of their customers. The worst thing is that they could basically get away with it because those unqualified therapists didn't legally have to oblige the "therapist - patient privacy" due to them not being officially licensed. And they also did the good ol' "Oopsie, you applied for a monthly subscription but we accidentally took the amount for the yearly subscription at the end of the month. Yeah, we can't do anything about that, sorry. ✨"

Also worth noting this wasn't team orders - this was manufacturer orders, since the two drivers in front (Lucas Auer & Max Buhk) drove for different Mercedes-powered teams.

I hope that happens ngl. Would make Nascar wake up and see that the playoffs are stupid. No other motorsport series has playoffs. Without playoffs the champion might be decided before the final race of the season so less people will want to see the final few races but more fans will actually enjoy watching the races throughout tye season because they actually all matter for the championship not just a few after a driver has won.

@@maxb148 Aussie supercars is gonna debut a 'Finals' system next year, which is basically the playoffs format with some small differences.

[@maxb148]

@Michael29Shell So I can't say only, but it is still the majority that don't use playoffs. The positives of the Supercars format is that there is no win and your in for either to get into the finals or in the rounds. It is based on the season points, and could only give like 1 "undeserving" driver a spot in the playoffs from winning the Enduro Cup because it is unlikely the Sprint Cup champion would fall from 1st to 11th in the 2 Enduro races. The other positive is the Final 4 is across 3 races and not 1 which removes alot of the luck from the races as they can't just win off 1 good race they still need to show atleast some consistency to win the championship.

[@enricoleite9556]

Ok, there´s some details about the DTM finale that you didn´t mention, I´ll use some parts from motorsport week because I´m not the best with english writing. Van der Linde escaped unharmed and into third place after destroying Lawsons race, but spectators were left baffled as he was only served a meager five second penalty for leaving the track. No further punishment was handed down, meaning that the collision with Lawson went completely unpunished. Van der Linde, logically sensing an opportunity now that Lawson had been reduced to a moving roadblock, stayed aggressive throughout but fate ultimately caught up with him when a sideways swipe at Götz (the other title contender) left him spinning out with a puncture. With Van der Linde out of the way and Götz seemingly not able to get to the leading pair of Lucas Auer and Philip Ellis, Lawson would still win the title! But then... Team orders! Worst than that, manufacture orders because they were not even from the same team! Götz had Daniel Juncadella behind acting as a rear gunner, but the two drivers ahead, Auer and Ellis, were also Mercedes drivers, much like Götz. And so Ellis and Auer slowed down significantly in the closing stages, allowing Götz through. Götz won the race and the title. It was SO bad!!!

Daniel Dye was collected in this mess as well and he wasn't medically cleared to attempt the Xfinity race the next day. He had to sat that out and have Leland Honeyman fill his spot. Failed to qualify and missed the race. If Im his sponsor or team owner, I would be mad. No one got punished for creating this mess and NASCAR doesn't care. As for the championship, Nascar didn't park Heim for intentionally crashing Hoecevar. What's worse is they penalized Heim just 5 days later. All that should've been settled at the track. Dam of Legitimacy is destroyed with the playoffs and now with officiating being trash to this day just adds the whole new element to it.

Good vid, just do research into your sponsors please

Perfect video to start the weekend

2011 Fall Richmond Cup Race 2023 Truck Finale: hold my Beer ☠☠

[@SnapTheCat.]

And as we saw at Martinsville this last Sunday, Hocevar STILL hasn't learned to be a civil driver. Oh, and that Corey Heim comment aged like milk lol

[@gonzalezproductionsinc]

Unfortunately I saw this race in person and had to witness this shitshow. Was probably the most fed up I’ve ever been at a Nascar race. Even driving back to my Airbnb after this race I’m like wtf was that

[@ahamlinfan7224]

is anyone gonna mention how good the transition at 11:05 was?

[@bloodykills7509]

Potential hot take but I would take a chaotic shitshow over a boring snoozefest

DTM featuring in a Ellyproduction49 video is a welcome surprise.

[@samuelpaladino109E4]

The Xfinity championship (which I think was one of the greatest championship races of all time) and the cup race that year make this race look like it was from an iracing lobby.

[@zachkilpatrick1696]

That Jak and Daxter 2 sound hit hard and I knew this was gonna be a good video.

[@Dandaman1687]

I am and will always be a die hard hocevar fan. I met him at the 23 Iracing Enascar finals. He was still in trucks. Him and raja caruth ( another goat) just sat around a simulator with some random fans drinking a few beers and goofing off. They both just seemed so incredibly human and nice. We joked about Breal ( it was still a thing) and I photo bombed them. Great times

[@noggin6870]

Why are you saying that Heim winning this is the only fair outcome when Eckes has gained over 100 more points across the season this year?

[@BiffGreggle]

As someone who was recently the VIP guest of a Truck series team and thus caught a glimpse of how things work behind the scenes: the purses for the races these days is utterly pathetic, and costs have never been higher. If you're a team owner, you are pretty much 100% guaranteed to lose money unless you win every race (and even that isn't a sure thing). So it's not at all surprising that the owners often resort to hiring pay drivers of questionable talent...because it's the only way that they can stay afloat.

Better help is bad

The real tragedy of that DTM race wasn't the incidents though, because even with those Lawson would've still been champion. It's that two other Mercedes cars on a completely different team slowed right at the end to let Gotz win the race and get the points he needed to overtake Lawson. A win by team orders would've been bad enough, but it being an entirely different team of the same manufacturer just felt plain wrong, especially when half the grid were Mercs and Ferrari only had one team with Lawson and Cassidy. Not remotely a fair fight

13:16 “I drove further in that 70 minutes in my 2012 Hyundai Veracruz than a field of professional race car drivers.” What a line.
