I was following along, thinking it makes sense what it was saying. Then at the end, the channel smoothly slides right on in trying to sell their own brand of dog food that was allegedly "safe" for dogs. Basically, the entire video was saying "all dog food except the brand I'm shilling at the is bad. So buy this brand instead". Made me disregard what the entire video said, even if there is some level of truth behind it.

The whole sneaker obsession is dumb as hell to me. What a waste of money

I've noticed that once a youtuber colors his/her hair blonde, you know they've sold out. Nothing is ever the same after that.

That, or platinum bright silver, or any bright obnoxious Colour. It’s like an obvious warning sign that gives good people who like to dye their hair for a new look, a bad name.

Time and fame have a unique way of showing a person's character. I don't really trust anyone online or in real life, because anyone is capable of degraded integrity. If people were inherently good, there'd be no need to maintain it in the first place.

Jake Tran's new channel Evil Food Supply probably is a more backhanded grift then you think, as his videos are very much targeted against meat and dairy alternatives, propagandising very easily disprovable lies. The meat and dairy industry in the past has sponsored some KZbinrs to spread misinformation, so I am guessing he just took a big check from them.

No way Lou promoted the Pablo Escobar phone. That company is a scam company. Did not know he had sunk that low.

On the Ricegum thing I love that even though you didn't say it you made sure to include the comment pointing out not only did he pull the "throwing pennies at the peasants" gift card codes, but they were actually all spent 7 months b4 he even shared them. Meaning that the codes were fake empty and used up just like he was. When I saw that video I had more pity for him than I can recall having for anyone in a long LONG damn time...

Let's hope Kira never ends up being in a video like this. I love this guy's content mixed with the "working class" humor- I'd hate to see the day he's bragging about some absolutely horrible looking shoes he overpaid for 😂
