BetterHelp Update Video
Added 2025-02-15 10:22:40 +0000 UTCAs you can tell from this video I was offered (what is to me) a considerable amount of money via sponsorship. I'm always looking at ways to bring some money into the channel with the hope that one day I can out source some editing as I want to really focus on the best content with the latest evidence base. As you can tell, it was a no from me. As they would say in Dragon's Den, "I'm Out".

You may not have got the money but you've earned a LOT of respect for this. I'd say that's better for your channel and community than being able to outsource the editing. Thank you for taking the time to check in and ask, and for safeguarding your community 🙏❤️

2025-02-16 09:47:08 +0000 UTCWow. This is awesome. This is so nice to see from a content creator. I've really needed help in the past and almost went to BetterHelp a few times at a very low point in my life. Thankfully was talked away from it from someone that went through some bad experiences and I was able to get better help (pun intended) from somewhere else. Since then I've seen a ton of people come out and talk about their bad experiences with it. It's unfortunate because it's hard enough for people to get the help they need without companies like this preying on them while they're vulnerable. I really respect this and wish more people used their platforms with such integrity and honesty. Even if I stop watching for a while, my membership isn't going anywhere, this just makes me even happier to support you.

2025-02-16 00:34:01 +0000 UTCWow, I gained a ton of repeat to you for this. I don’t recall anyone I watch turning down a sponsor because of community feedback

2025-02-15 18:07:37 +0000 UTCthis is the type of integrity the community needs more of — and yet another reason i’m staying a Patreon supporter

2025-02-15 14:52:04 +0000 UTCMuch respect. It probably would make the channel easier to run in the short term but it wouldn't be worth it imo in the long term. I find betterhelp to be to risky to promote to any audience with their current track record. I believe that is the conclusion you also came to.

2025-02-15 12:49:29 +0000 UTCDamn sir, respect. That's one more reason for me not to go anywhere, I'll keep supporting the channel (here rather than yt).

2025-02-15 12:10:38 +0000 UTCThe integrity you show on your platform will serve you incredibly well as well, you’ll obviously cultivate a lot of trust with your following and any future sponsorships you get we will have more faith are trustworthy which will be valuable to those companies offering the sponsorship I do really admire you having the strength and the moral strength to turn down high amounts of money <3
