I really can't imagine my channel ever getting large enough to where the should I?/ shouldn't I? ethical dilemma of sponsorships becomes something I have to grapple with but it's still a topic that I've thought about. Whenever a content creator does a sponsored video a part of me always wonders if we're getting 100% of what they really wanted to say. Or if they had to make adjustments to the topic at hand, in order to not upset a sponsor. As someone who believes it's necessary to pay people what their work is worth when you receive a service or labor from them, and someone who always supports a person creating financial stability for themself (as long as they aren't harming others), I totally respect the balance you've created.
