maaaan it's a weird vibe when a youtuber with the conceit that they're a licensed clinical therapist actively talks about how they don't accept sponsorships they don't put their full backing behind, and then that same youtuber accepts a supplement sponsorship repackaged as "bedtime hot chocolate"

#kat chats #sorry to randomly bring this here lol this feels more like a tweet but #idk i didn't want to try to chop it down #idk idk maybe i'm being ~sensitive~ most youtubers accept sponsorships from shitty companies #but i take issue with this one in particular bc this person is SO anti wellness machine #and anti capitalist and anti bunk science and stuff #and so when you have that as the basis for her entire audience and then you promote a sleep supplement #even if You Are only talking about the personal effects you had when you took it #the supplement itself is masquerading as a science backed and clinically trialed product #and i am sure there was a trial and i am sure it was clinical but there's no insight into that trial's methodology #if there was a control group #if variables were involved #AND it's not certified by the FDA which granted no supplement is #and the FDA has its own issues #but idk if this study is even peer reviewed #and so basically all that is to say it frustrates me because this person's audience is here BC they believe in her credentials #and to advertise this supplement to them lends credibility to a company that is SPECIFICALLY trying to masquerade as scientific #when its trials methodologies are hidden and therefore not repeatable #maybe i shouldn't care so much #but it Bothers Me
