    Because their favourite YouTuber tells them how much better they’re feeling after getting one.

    It’s why sponsorships are an outright negative for me when looking at products. They abuse the authority influencers seem to get. “Oh I like him and his videos, he wouldn’t lie to me.” Yeah right.

      Absolutely, some youtubers are nothing but paid shills.

      On the other hand, there are some who have a lot of integrity. If TechMoan for example tells us that something actually works, I’ll be very inclined to believe him.
