 Today I'm making a video that no youtuber really wants to have to make and I was hoping that I never would have to make but In this video I'm going to be talking about a few things that I have messed up. I've messed up big time So I wanted to make a quick video so that I you guys know that I you know what I'm thinking about this I'm sure you guys have seen a couple of things But I can't be too specific on the specifics here because there are some like contract stuff But I'm you guys will know what I'm talking about. So first of all It came to my attention yesterday I believe I just got back in town from like Thanksgiving and all that stuff But came to my attention yesterday that I've been promoting something that has come out to be most likely a scam and That thing I can't do by name, but you guys know what I'm talking about We've been doing we don't really do a lot of ads and you guys have seen the specific one a lot so it came out a video basically saying that this specific thing is Saying they will do certain things for you and you'll get to do certain things if you buy their thing Mayor may not even be true that they're doing that and then they're also Doing things for like the environment. They're like replanting trees You know what I'm talking about and that may or may not even be happening. So When I first accepted the sponsor sponsorship, I saw okay, this is a fun gag gift You know, it's it's funny and all that stuff and then they're also helping like, you know replant trees and all that stuff I think this is this is a cool thing to do. I'd also seen IRL friends like buy this before so I was like, okay That seems like legit You know because my friends are buying it and stuff like that and then also other large youtubers like big time We're promoting it. So I was like, this has to be, you know, right, you know, it has to be fine And that first of all that thought process was the issue. That was the mistake I thought okay, it's good because other people are doing it other people have bought it It seems like they're doing something right That was not that was not enough Research and that is the main the main theme here I should have done more research for this before I promoted it to you guys because as a youtuber I have a audience that watches me. I want to actually I need to be promoting things that I know for a fact or good because I can cause people to buy something that is You know, in fact a scam, which is what happened here. So That that is something that came to my attention yesterday So we're gonna be talking about a couple of things. There was that and then yesterday also we had a video that I posted about a different TCG and Obviously if you guys saw the video, it was not well received at all and Another thing that I should have done more research on if I done more research on this specific video on what I was Opening that I would have known that when I posted this video It was not gonna go well and obviously I didn't do that I didn't do that well enough because I had me I had like an inkling slight inkling of The disappointment and in the product that we opened. I didn't realize how bad it was So me opening it was not just like a cool video for people to watch, you know me enjoying some older stuff It wasn't that it was not that for most people that watch it some people Most people I would say that watched it were very upset with this because it means something more than Just a fun opening like we normally do on the channel. It means, you know, the certain thing is Taking advantage of people and stuff like that. So Because I didn't do enough research I made that video. I thought it would be fun all this stuff and It obviously didn't didn't go so well. So Because of contract stuff and stuff like that. I'm not gonna name any names, but you guys know exactly what I'm talking about Because of these two things they happen on the same day We normally you know, we don't do a lot of sponsors But we have in the last month and they really have not gone that well and both times It's because I did not do my share of the research. So For that first of all, I want to take responsibility because this is my fault. It's my channel I I decide what goes on to it and I decided wrong on both of these things So I want to apologize first of all for that because I don't want I don't want this to be a thing that continues in the future. It just happened yesterday So I wanted to get it out immediately that I know I messed up I know I messed up big time not only on, you know, one certain thing but both of these things I know I messed up big time. I shouldn't have done either of these things. So what am I gonna do? I have not actually been compensated for any of this. So I'm just gonna cut ties with Both of the companies that I was working with I'm gonna I'm just gonna say I think we're done here I don't I don't I don't want to continue doing anything I don't need to be compensated because if I am gonna be compensated that means I have to leave the videos up I have I'm going to private the main video the one that from yesterday and I'm going to cut out I've already cut out everything for the other brand. I've cut everything out I took the the pin comments and all that stuff all that stuff is gone so I'm gonna be taking all that stuff out so that no one else sees it anymore and Basically, I'm just gonna cut ties with these and hopefully get a fresh start and For future sponsorships, which as a youtuber sponsorships are really important to stay like, you know A float and have enough money for like what we do on this channel, which is buy a lot of product and stuff like that They are really important. So for future sponsorships. I'm not gonna say I'm never taking sponsorships again But I'm gonna be doing a lot more research. I'm gonna be, you know, vetting them making sure they are actually legit Not just assuming because someone else did it. It's probably fine I'm gonna I'm gonna be looking into it a lot more making sure that I'm promoting stuff that is actually, you know Appropriate for you guys to see and I feel really bad about it. Honestly, I really do And I wanted to make a video because I know that I could I could just have let it go I could have just kept going but I really don't want you guys to doubt me or like doubt that You know a question anything that I'm talking about like eyes. He really mean it because he did this that one time So I want to just I want to cut this off as soon as possible I want to end in my relationship with these other things even even the one that I thought would be a great thing But it really I did not I did not look into it enough. So I think that I'm gonna be doing that this is no editing in this video obviously because I'm just kind of rambling But I just wanted you guys to get a legit look into what's been going on and what I'm what I'm gonna do about this and hopefully this will Make things a little better because I definitely I definitely messed up and I know that I did and that's why I wanted to come on here Take responsibility because I think it is important when you realize you've done something wrong because as soon as I posted that video yesterday I knew I messed up. So I was not in town. So I couldn't make a video, but I I Just decided look it's time to take responsibility. I messed up guys. Sorry about that. We're gonna cut off Everything that we can I don't exactly know how that's gonna go because Contracts I've never actually done this before normally you just do it and there's no big deal But this is a completely different scenario. So I'm gonna see what I can do about that and thank you guys I really appreciate it for just sticking with me and stuff like that because I know like I Disappointed some people yesterday and I did not that was not my intention But I did end up doing that. So once again, I'm trying to take responsibility here And I'm sorry about that for everything that's kind of happened in the last couple of days and like the last month That I kind of didn't realize but I probably should have if I like did my due diligence and stuff like that so thank you guys and That's pretty much it Extra video today. This is we're still gonna have normal videos coming tomorrow and stuff like that But I wanted you guys to know that and you know if you guys did, you know get duped into like The one that we've been promoting a lot Just let me know and then I can I can Personally refund you because I don't want you guys to have lost any money on anything like that. So That's it for this one. Thank you guys appreciate you guys understanding and watching peace
