Someone just commented below that they were ready to start a store but this video made them a little bit nervous. This is some of the best comment feedback I think you could possibly have. Fear is a driver. People should be cautious and aware but the real message here is that your videos are so honest that you've got subscribers making their own real-life decisions based on the facts that you bring to the screen.

Not to mention the investment of time and money you're taking in ads, & even making this video. AND a giveaway is crazy!
