I wonder if you’d consider doing some reviews of vegan books? From recipe books to philosophy? I know that type of thing takes a lot of work, but I feel that it’s a niche on RUclips that isn’t being filled 🙃
I’d love to hear your suggestions on how to avoid being burnt out/giving on vegan. I know you’ve addressed this in bits and pieces in videos, but I’d love a whole video dedicated to it.
i love how you stick to your morals in every aspect besides just diet that's why you're my favorite vegan channel, I have cut down my intake of meat and slowly working on getting rid of products as well. thank you for showing me it doesn't have to be hard or instant!
I really appreciate this video. I watch a couple of RUclipsrs constantly doing promotional videos of products they say they have been using and loving for months such as skincare but in their previous videos they use some other type of skincare products they were loving. Or how they use a certain probiotic product and how it makes them feel so much better then next video or so they say their digestion hasn't been the greatest or they haven't been feeling the greatest. It makes me think they don't even use the product they were recently talking about.
I really appreciate this. I’ve fallen out of interest with soooo many RUclipsrs because I find them hard to relate to, and sponsorships play a huge role in that. Thanks for keeping it real!
I’m glad you are shedding light on this topic. I used to always think it was so odd how influencers would promote products such as skin care without using it for a while first. I was always skeptical
Thanks for the look behind the scenes, it's often a mystery to us viewers how these promotion deals are done. Definitely going to be assuming that a lot of the crap was something the content creator signed up to without having seen or used the product. Thanks for the transparency!
Ryan Reynolds’s is iconic so I agree with you there! I also love that do you don’t brand deals. Some creators do them so often there videos often they feel like ads and it annoys me.
Thanks I appreciate this info as a new content creator I want to work with brands that I actually use. I can’t tell people to trust something I don’t even know about.
I was going to try athletic greens based on an influencer’s recommendation. The price just made me laugh! I think you should take their money and do it. Especially butcher box.. everyone knows you’re getting paid.
Influencer here, something else brands do that is shady is "hey here's our free product but you HAVE to post a video on your socials in exchange for the product" basically asking me to work for free which is one thing for a brand I already use and love, happy to help promote it, but again it's these brands I've never seen or heard of or tried before asking this
Yeah... even the people I "trust" make me side eye whenever I hear their sponsored spiel, especially with things we injest. Also, I'm a petty b* and whenever I see makeup brands sending every beauty YTer the same exact thing, I think that if they have enough profit to send free products that many people, they don't need my money (not that I have any, but still)
Although I agree I'm a hundred percent sure there is like plenty of influencers agreeing to do sponsorships or collaborations with something that they've never tried but I also do know that there are influencers that have used products for many years and then collaborations came after.
This is interesting timing. Just quit my job selling stuff I didn't believe in, and dang it feels AMAZING to leave it in my past. Thanks for this reminder of my good decision.
Don't be afraid to blow dry with a heat protectant! JVN recommends doing a blowout after washing every three days because it usually decreases the amount of styling needed in the interim
I really appreciate your diligence surrounding brand deals. I really trust your judgement about food and such so it makes me happy to see that you respect the power and influence you have. Keep up the good work!
i hope brands will listen to you because you're one of very few RUclipsrs id actually buy sponsors for. Like are they that broke they can't afford to send the product?
The end cracked me up 😂 I was just looking into air dry cream, I got one that just makes white flakes when I comb my hair, but maybe I used too much or something.
I was about to recommend JVN to you before you even said something. I had a lice scare and damaged my hair using treatment when I didn't have lice and a stylist recommended the JVN serum to me. I also got the pre-wash oil because I have some eczema on my scalp. Honestly the products are beautiful. They are a little pricey but it's because the packaging is recyclable as well. Really couldn't recommend more after using some of the products for about 6 months.
Thank you so much for sharing this! Content creators should definitely be held to higher standards! I hope some sort of policy is created to hold them to higher standards because there is no way this can be achieved on a voluntary basis. Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on how this problem can be overcome! :)
For the deodorant issue, using an acid face exfoliator (such as the ordinary 10% glycolic acid, which should be vegan but double check) once a day is very effective in eliminating smell (will take a while, maybe a week, it interferes with bacteria).
100% true, really lame. I have a small channel here and get these offers all the time. Most of the time they come with all sorts of agreements like they have to review the videos first. As a small youtuber it's totally not worth it, get some lame product so that they get an ad for however long youtube is up?
I really appreciate your honesty. I have been thinking about starting a RUclips channel and social media. I am really allergic to dairy and I have been on the fence of converting all the way to veganism. I have been watching your channel for years and always appreciate the insight. I want my channel to be a community for new vegans and non-vegans looking for products. Essentially it’s a review channel. I thought of sponsorship deals as well as a future goal. But I want to be authentic in the things that I am reviewing and possibly being sponsored by like I really want to be using the product and like it I don’t wanna just like tell my followers like oh this is so great and I haven’t really been using it so thanks again for the insight
Sponsorships never do anything to convince me but I will say Ryan Reynolds’s ads for Mint Mobile convinced me to try it. I went from paying $200 a month for two phones to $15. And honestly it’s really solid. Data is a little bit slower than AT&T but they use t mobile towers so it’s basically the same service as t mobile. Only annoying thing was setting up with the digital SIM cards. Besides that, I love it and am never switching
Good for you! I always cringe whenever I see content creators that I respect hawking dubious products. I used to think that they had to do that to make money. But I've since learned that there are other ways to monetize your channel. I guess some people just want more.
I very much like such videos from you, they are very interesting. Vegan topics i already know everything about, so I'm excited about new topic slightly related
Great video. These companies need to stop with the sight unseen deals. C’mon, creators! Stop agreeing to that BS. We also get emails from non vegan companies. “We love your content! You’re a good fit for our ….insert non vegan product here….” So annoying.
If you’re not looking for an anti-perspirant and just want a deodorant, I’ve found Lume to work really well. I really don’t have any smell after using it. Even when we went camping in the summer heat. But my clothes get really sweaty (not smelly, just wet idk).
7:10 Idk if you're open to suggestions (if not, please ignore), but a game changer for me has been using a benzoyl peroxide wash (PanOxyl, CeraVe Acne foaming cream cleanser) under my arms a few times a week. It reduces bacteria on the skin so there's little to no stench when I sweat later, even if I skip antiperspirant. It helps so much in the disgustingly hot and humid spring and summer months.
I hate that it used to be the case that RUclips people would talk about products they'd been sent for free on their channel after they'd tried them out and if they liked them. Now you can't believe anything people are saying about products.
I think it’s very relevant to the channel, it’s a video about ethics and integrity, and if that’s not what this whole channel is about, then I don’t know what is!
I think this video is very relevant for the channel, and especially vegan companies should hold themselves to better standards than forcing RUclipsrs to promote their products without even trying it.
Lume is literally the only thing that works for me! I’m shocked you didn’t notice anything….I’ve tried EVERYTHING. Even my wife noticed a difference (mine is hormonal)
Its actually good for the hair to blow dry it, you just have to use heat protection and do it from roots to tips! It closes hair follicles better then air drying
It’s refreshing to hear this honestly. I also really hate it when people are like this is a new mobile game so cool I love it and I’ve been playing it all the time I’m on level 30. Like 🤨 if you’ve ever played one of those styles of mobile game and actually liked it it’s pretty easy to get into the triple digits of those games quickly so when people promote them I know it’s probably not good.
With every year that goes by, my trust in any form paid promotions wanes more and more. Didn't it used to be more standard to send trials before you have to sign to promote it?
Abbey Sharp is a bit over the top. She is hyper like a teenager on drugs. Her overall advice is sound, but the whole youtube persona shtick is off putting.
I'm not an influencer but would totally agree to promote a product I *haven't yet tried* as long as I can be 100% honest in my promo video. I am the type to be honest. I will roast the crap out of a company that trusts me to first try and then review their product.
I am very reluctant to order beauty products or supplements from the internet, unless they are from a well known brand. Here in Germany we have 2 big drugstore chains (dm and Rossmann) where you can buy everything you need for personal hygiene and grooming and even for supplements, diet shakes etc. You can also get vegan/organic alternatives at these stores. I am not sure why anyone would order these new products from these unknown websites, that are not really innovative and that don't have better features than the ones that already exist.
I tried the Little Seed Farm deodorant and it is pretty good so far. I’ve tried all the grocery store ones, Kopari, and Drunk Elephant with less than good results.
Yeah definitely shady to not send samples. Did not realize companies did this but it's not surprising at all. I guess with mobile games or some apps I can understand not sending any free stuff. Most of the time with games and some times with apps you can use them for free, so trying it out before signing anything would not be too difficult.
The only deodorant that has worked for me is secret clinical + stress response. It doesn’t smell too strong and it’s the only thing that helps keep me from sweating too much and smelling.
Unrelated but there's a family channel called saraplustwins and someone has just created a fake monetised channel with almost the exact same username bar one letter (they add an extra s on the end of twins) and has re-uploaded all the videos of her children and monetized them. This is exactly why you never show your kids or share any detail about them. Wise choice and I feel really sad and worried for the mum as they are a really lovely family.
I mean when it's doing a Raid Shadow Legends sponsorship, it is a free game and I know they pay well, so I don't have a problem with someone just thinking that it's nice to get a lot of money just promoting a shitty game. But it feels very icky when you're agreeing sight unseen to promote a product that people will pay for.
If I were in the USA, I would blacklist all those brands from my to-buy list due to their genuineness. If they trust their product, you should be able to try it. But they don't. Where's the trustworthiness?
I don’t mind sponsorships but if I’m being honest, 10 out of 10 times I skip right through the sponsorship. I always assume that anything promoted on RUclips isn’t that great. There’s people like Abbey Sharp who literally don’t post a video without a sponsorship in it. And obviously I don’t know her but I don’t imagine she’s really playing any of those games on her phone that she’s promoting.
Oh Abby's sponsorships with the dumb phone games are really starting to rub the wrong way for me. In theory I would like for them not to, but TiffanyFerg did an internet analysis on the video games and it really made me think differently of those sponsorships and phone games in general. I don't mind if youtubers get sponsored by companies that are different from their content (like all the VPN sponsorships, perfume, etc) but the phone game ones just feel off...
You could consider replying to the emails and offer a paid review instead. If they are really confident about their product you can make an extra few bucks for yourself and still be fair and honest to your audience. 😁
Considering how many Swayze has tried and not liked, I dont think that's fair on any content creator. Paying to try a product because THEY reached out to you? No
@@WantingBread Swayze tries many products, the difference here is that at least she could make extra money with it. It's very beneficial for content creators! It's also beneficial for businesses, as they either get good exposure from it, or valuable feedback if the product turns out not great. Sounds fair to me. I wish Swayze the best, I think it's a great channel. So I'm happy to leave my tip in the comments if this could potentally help her make an extra couple bucks.
@@WantingBread Wait Sarah I now realize that you may have misunderstood my suggestion. Good to be clear that it's not the content creator who pays! 😂 A paid review means that the company sends a product and then pays you to provide feedback after trying it.
Ryan Hall (weather youtuber) has 3 videos up in the last 8 months that were sponsored by known scam Established Titles and he pitches them in those videos. People tried to tell him it's a grift and he didn't do a thing about it. It's so easy these days for youtubers to show you their true colors.
I stopped watching quite a few youtubers (like Caitlin Shoemaker for example) because their sponsorships, I tune out when I realize they’re posting a whole video just to shove some mushroom tea down my throat. I disagree with this video though, I think there are two separate types of situations when it comes to youtubers: 1. RUclipsrs like UV who have no actual production value and I don’t mean that in a derrogatory way. I mean they are people talking to a camera and doing their own research and editing without using too many financial resources 2. RUclipsrs or rather channels that involve a lot of investment or research or even investigative work that require a lot of resources being used and hiring other people. How to Cook That is one of those, in order to debunk food myths or fake hacks or such they sometimes spend months on one video or buy all sorts of appliances and ingredients for their videos. In which case I don’t mind them promoting some video game that I’m not going to play anyway. The same goes for many of the political comments channels who pay people for investigative journalism or they have to pay for bringing in guests.
I'd personally just pay for the first trial/demo and then agree to collaborate if I like the product. I don't think viewers will mind you promoting decent products and services like the mint mobile and kinder joy makeup, as long as you actually end up liking them.
Why should individual "influencers" have to each pay for a trial, to then potentially make money from a sponsorship? The whole point is its a win win for both the company and the influencer

Video suggestions?

You should test vegan ice cream.
Have you seen earthling ed's reducetarian video? Did you agree with it?
How do you get paid... and by who?
i love how you stick to your morals in every aspect besides just diet that's why you're my favorite vegan channel, I have cut down my intake of meat and slowly working on getting rid of products as well. thank you for showing me it doesn't have to be hard or instant!
Yepp been watching her for like a decade?! I don’t know how many years. Her personality, realness and morals never swayed
Good luck on your journey. I am using up the dairy products I have and will replace with vegan items.
I really appreciate this video. I watch a couple of RUclipsrs constantly doing promotional videos of products they say they have been using and loving for months such as skincare but in their previous videos they use some other type of skincare products they were loving.

It makes me think they don't even use the product they were recently talking about.
They definitely don't use those products, we need to be aware that most time they didn't even receive those products before signing up the contract.
Thank you for being so transparent! I've always wondered what goes on behind the scenes with this kind of thing.
I really appreciate this. I’ve fallen out of interest with soooo many RUclipsrs because I find them hard to relate to, and sponsorships play a huge role in that. Thanks for keeping it real!
Seeing a butcher box sponsorship on a vegan channel would be hilarious 😂
High high high respect ...thank you for being authentic and calling out the BS
I’m glad you are shedding light on this topic. I used to always think it was so odd how influencers would promote products such as skin care without using it for a while first. I was always skeptical
You are such an honest person, I appreciate that a lot. This is why I like watching YOU, I trust your judgement 🎉

Also I love that I'm still getting AG1 adverts on your videos...
I end up ignoring ads of the YTers I know who feel the need to do sponsorships often and it shows

Thanks for sharing this video. This is eye-opening!

I got this idea from Dr Dray and it also works great for me - no need for deodorant anymore.

Greetings from Germany where I just received an AG1 ad on your video 🥰
Transparency. Honesty. And ethical ❤ thanks Swayze
With every year that goes by, my trust in any form paid promotions wanes more and more. Didn't it used to be more standard to send trials before you have to sign to promote it?
I'm right there with you on the stinky issue Swayze 😭
If you ever figure it out please share 🙏
Funnily enough, I didn't decide to use Earth Breeze until you promoted it. Still not sure if I prefer them to Dropps.
Thank you for sharing this! Makes you much more authentic than other content creators :)
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing the behind the scenes stuff.
My first thought was Abbey Sharp and her acting skills for every sponsorship
Yeah. She's the worst. Everything about her channel annoys me.
Abbey Sharp is a bit over the top. She is hyper like a teenager on drugs. Her overall advice is sound, but the whole youtube persona shtick is off putting.
Clock that tea
I'm not an influencer but would totally agree to promote a product I *haven't yet tried* as long as I can be 100% honest in my promo video. I am the type to be honest. I will roast the crap out of a company that trusts me to first try and then review their product.
Tbh it's interresting as a marketing student to have honest influencer perspectives :)
I am very reluctant to order beauty products or supplements from the internet, unless they are from a well known brand. Here in Germany we have 2 big drugstore chains (dm and Rossmann) where you can buy everything you need for personal hygiene and grooming and even for supplements, diet shakes etc. You can also get vegan/organic alternatives at these stores. I am not sure why anyone would order these new products from these unknown websites, that are not really innovative and that don't have better features than the ones that already exist.
I tried the Little Seed Farm deodorant and it is pretty good so far. I’ve tried all the grocery store ones, Kopari, and Drunk Elephant with less than good results.
THE BONES COFFEE AD AFTER YOU TALKED ABOUT THE WEIRD COFFEE IS SO FUNNY 😭😭
No joke my Before advert was Mint and my mid advert is AG1
Thank you for the information. There was one RUclipsr I stopped following due to, in part, pushing athletic greens
Yeah definitely shady to not send samples. Did not realize companies did this but it's not surprising at all. I guess with mobile games or some apps I can understand not sending any free stuff. Most of the time with games and some times with apps you can use them for free, so trying it out before signing anything would not be too difficult.
The only deodorant that has worked for me is secret clinical + stress response. It doesn’t smell too strong and it’s the only thing that helps keep me from sweating too much and smelling.
I think ridge wallets have leather straps, there's an option to get a clip instead though
I appreciate you!
Ridge Wallet even sponsored Rucka Rucka Ali once. They are indiscriminate
Good for you
Unrelated but there's a family channel called saraplustwins and someone has just created a fake monetised channel with almost the exact same username bar one letter (they add an extra s on the end of twins) and has re-uploaded all the videos of her children and monetized them.

I miss Gay of Thrones too! It was soo good😟 I wish he had continued to do it with other shows

Yeah I can't figure out what is so special about AG1. There are so many green powders out there

Can you do a video on “what is impossible meat?”
Wait, so they wanted loads of promo for 3 months of mobile access. WTF?!
That's crazy stingy. Seems new, what happened to the days of the designated PR PO Box?
That's so weird people agree to promote something they never tried! Didn't know that
Got a mint mobile ad on this video! 👀
Ryan Hall (weather youtuber) has 3 videos up in the last 8 months that were sponsored by known scam Established Titles and he pitches them in those videos. People tried to tell him it's a grift and he didn't do a thing about it. It's so easy these days for youtubers to show you their true colors.
Benzoyl peroxide face wash to clean armpits👍🏻
IS TING BETTER THAN TRACFONE??
Hey so im further in the video I just realized you said you used Tide! Tide isn't cruelty-free right?
Would you do a skincare routine video? Just for fun
Your hair looks great :)
I don’t know what made me think of this but don’t cut bangs….( your words not mine)
That’s right! She told us to remind her once a month!
I stopped watching quite a few youtubers (like Caitlin Shoemaker for example) because their sponsorships, I tune out when I realize they’re posting a whole video just to shove some mushroom tea down my throat.
I disagree with this video though, I think there are two separate types of situations when it comes to youtubers:
1. RUclipsrs like UV who have no actual production value and I don’t mean that in a derrogatory way. I mean they are people talking to a camera and doing their own research and editing without using too many financial resources
2. RUclipsrs or rather channels that involve a lot of investment or research or even investigative work that require a lot of resources being used and hiring other people. How to Cook That is one of those, in order to debunk food myths or fake hacks or such they sometimes spend months on one video or buy all sorts of appliances and ingredients for their videos. In which case I don’t mind them promoting some video game that I’m not going to play anyway. The same goes for many of the political comments channels who pay people for investigative journalism or they have to pay for bringing in guests.
I'd personally just pay for the first trial/demo and then agree to collaborate if I like the product. I don't think viewers will mind you promoting decent products and services like the mint mobile and kinder joy makeup, as long as you actually end up liking them.
Why should individual "influencers" have to each pay for a trial, to then potentially make money from a sponsorship? The whole point is its a win win for both the company and the influencer
Love the Skitty 💖
Re the stink…Have you tried taking chlorophyll drops? I’ve been taking them for awhile now and like to think they’re working 😬
Lol snake oil 😂
Respect! 👏
I thought Ryan Reynolds sold mint mobile ?
So interesting!
Deodorant: I just use any AHA or BHA.
Whole30 came out with a plant-based plan a bit ago, thoughts?
