@@pikasprogaming7550 it's a channel that spread misinformation, they're not going to be professional 😂 I get where you're coming from but you're expecting too much from these people.
This is like that the time the Kamikoto knife scam company tried to get a sword expert to sponsor them. Or the time that Established Titles scam tried to get a real lawyer to sponsor them. And yes, both of those things happened. I sure hope this becomes a trend with people I watch.
What "sword expert"? Not Shadiversity?!? He's the only vaguely sword-related channel I've seen talking about the Kamikoto scam, but he's barely ever discussed IRL swords- He's just another make-it-up-as-you-go "Video game theories" channel, but slightly more weapon-focussed. Pretty sure he has no IRL credentials, beyond buying props, and building a plywood "castle" in his backyard. (And IIRC he mentioned karate lessons, when he was a kid?) Being able to click "create channel" on YT, and make half-entertaining videos doesn't make someone "an expert". (There are SOME legit "sword experts" on YT- The guy who runs "ScholarGladitoria" channel has dealt antique swords for decades, consults for museums, and teaches HEMA. Or some museums themselves have channels that occaisionally host legit "experts". But afaik none have talked about Kamikoto.)
@@baconsarny-geddon8298 Shadiversity’s creator (Shad) is a HEMA partisipator atleast and does good research though. Most of his content is also discussing mediavel combat, especially swords. Not only that but he is active with other experts and youtubers on these kinds of topics. Have you actually even seen his content?
"Do not mention we are sponsoring you to say these things" Isn't this genuinely illegal? Like if you have a written paid contract with someone for a RUclips video, isn't that legally required to be stated? Or is that specific to certain countries? This whole thing is just horrific and looks borderline illegal the way they're presenting it. And I'm not even someone who looks at these often... can't imagine how you feel reading this.
technically, they don't say do not mention we sponsored this - the line above specifically states that AVNJ MUST mention they sponsored the video, "in his own words" and do so towards the middle or the end of the integrated segment, and the section is headed FTC guidelines and *blank* requirements, so they acknowledge that disclaimers are required - they are just trying to obfuscate and hide the disclaimer as much as possible, and probably more than YT terms of service allow. What they ban is OPENING with the disclaimer, in an attempt to get viewers to see the ad and not realise it was sponsored, either because they stopped watching before the disclaimer, or missed it due to concealment "do your best to make the transition seamless". I suspect this is against the ToS and FTC rules, but don't know for sure. It is totally scummy either way.
It's absolutely illegal, but a very commonly broken law. Another is pretending to like a product and endorsing it but not actually liking it. Every raid shadow legends sponsor is breaking that law.
I think we should make the onlooker viewing angle a regular installment. Like how other streams have a pet cam, except here it would be the dutch angle 4 foot behind from under a bed cam.
Yeah, but channels would steal his content and heavily edit it down to make it seem like he's being serious and people who don't know him would cause him to lose creditability.
@@roseabee7503 ya, which is sad.

Just a heads up everyone the channel is Top 10s. It's the only channel he's reviewed with a small enough name to fit all the black boxes and at the end they said it's the perfect place for top tens. I would also say this could be an instance of a bot like the ones on top tens sending out mass sponsorship emails to people who have done something on the megalodon.
because of the lengths of the blanks, we can come to the conclusion that the channel name has around 5-7 letters in it, using this knowledge we can cross references which channels he has reacted too and their length to find the most probable candidates. And then use process of elimination to find the exact channel I'm too lazy to do that... but if y'all want to, go right ahead!
I love how they want you to not state that it was a sponsored video, they know it would make it seem fake! Also pretty sure those same guidelines require you to state if it's sponsored, so that's fun.
"This is like criminally insane" Literally. "Do not mention that ____ sponsors this channel." They are literally asking you to break the law in most countries and RUclips's own sponsorship policies.
this feels like an ai written contract or Google translated contract that uses another contract as a baseline and changes a few aspects of it (like copying someone's homework and changing a tiny amount of it so it's not copy pasted)
Literally the only reason. No other large prehistoric animal but the Megalodon has achieved semi-'cryptid' status, not even those that went more recently extinct or could be more reasoneble argued to be alive. If the Megalodon didn't have its size and cool name, no one would care.
Yeah tbh the way they worded it you could very easily follow all their instructions while your tone of voice and repeated winks at the camera tell everyone what you _really_ think.
Just _imagine_ AVNJ posting this on April fools Everyone's confusion watching him enthusiastically talk about this channel and happily agree that the megalodon is still alive But suddenly in the middle of the video there's just a cut to 15 second footage of his back turned to the camera *silently* watching the video with eery music Before returning to him joyfully talking about megalodons
This just goes to show, the people making these kinds of channels are in it for the money, they don't believe in the stuff they post, and they know how desperate some people are to see proof of monsters and how easy it is to manipulate them for views.
Imagine an alternate timeline where he actually accepts this sponsorship... Sure glad its not this one. I have a feeling this section of the internet would detonate in a supernova and collapse in on itself to form a drama black hole... With this and the other channel being the singularity within said black hole probably.
Not sure on YTs rules. General broadcasting rules only say it has to be included, and *blank* suggest hiding the disclaimer in the middle or the end in the second to last requirement, and the last requirement only forbids starting the sponsored section with the disclaimer. Leading with the disclaimer is the generally done thing, for good and obvious reasons, but I have seen channels hide disclaimers from dodgy sponsors like this before, and only some of them got bonked by YT. Not sure if it is because YT rules allow it, or some just didn't get caught.
I feel like their sponsorship should be that the psychotically energetic ai voice they use comes on the channel with a chat ai to debate the megalodons existence.
It baffles me that people can't just appreciate the Megalodon for what it is: A badass _extinct_ animal. Don't get me wrong, giant sharks are amazing, but Meg is well and truly in the past. (Go swim with Whale Sharks, people. You won't regret it.) Furthering this point: Imagine if there was a group online who paraded "Evidence" that Tyrannosaurus Rex was still alive and well in what was once the Hell Creek formation.
The person that sent that has no idea who you are, I am 99% sure some guy working at the channel saw one of the videos, told his boss, and the boss sent you a sponsorship
Also, the reason “coco” is underlined blue squiggle in the doc is cuz that’s how you spell the name. The more accepted spelling of the actual drink or plant is “cocoa”.
should've played the long game, have a back and forth where you could get rid of some of the silly requirements but delay the posting to "ensure quality" and pop the video out on April Fool's. Get money and some banger content. The channel probably would've bit too since your endorsement would be super valuable since you're typically so against channels like theirs.
You were obviously never gonna take the deal but good call on the legality of this because a quarter of the shit in this contract breaks some US, UK or EU law
I'm so glad you didn't do it as an April fool's joke - people like that will post your clip and pretend it's real. So many scientists get defamed & discredited ike that.
Now I want to make a channel where I make poorly researched top ten lists, then get you to debunk it so the channel grows from people hate-watching it.
