Similarly; I've stopped watching quite a few watch reviewers on YouTube, due to the blatant marketing. To be honest some of whom were open enough about receiving the gift etc. However, like yourself, it's like watching a 20min advert. Shame really.Yes, I think I prefer to know. Some youtubers are very clear about that but that doesn't persuade me to trust their reviews . I don't watch any of them now cause all the ones I used to watch were really promoting gifts, some are worse than others but it gererally felt like sitting in front of the laptop to watch a 20 minutes ad.
My daughter works for a PR agency and she recruits youtubers to review products and they do get paid, I don't think the youtubers reviewing shaving stuff do it for money but certainly do it for the freebies which saves them money anyway.
Maybe a coincidence; but when Youtube changed their rules on "monetization" - the money channel owners could make from posting videos - some shavers dropped off posting - or changed tactics Maybe I spend too much time on Youtube.
