    Hello. I am a former Amazon employee from Japan, and on my channel, I explain LeetCode problems.
    I have a question I'd like to ask. To put it simply, I've been told that using Amazon's name to channel name, uploading videos with Amazon's name or office footage are illegal from an active AWS software engineer working in India. Have you ever heard of such a thing? Or have you received requests from RUclips or Amazon to remove videos? I don't intend to disrupt your comment section, so if my comment is bothering you, feel free to delete it. Thank you.

Why don’t they just use it though. “Creamer is a highly processed food containing things like corn syrup solids, hydrogenated vegetable oil (coconut and/or palm kernel and/or soybean), sodium caseinate, dipotassium phosphate, sodium aluminosilicate, mono- and diglycerides, cellulose gel, cellulose gum, carragenan, artificial flavor, and artificial color” mmmmmm sounds so much better than just using milk.
