I’ve done that before, but in my case, it was a discount for a proxy service and not a particular item. I ended up being very disappointed by the whole experience (no communication from the proxy service after seven months of waiting, overcharged on shipping, item shipped via sea instead of air) and it really soured my view on the YouTuber. I don’t even watch her videos anymore.

item shipped via sea instead of air

tbf, if this was during COVID, that was most likely because air shipping was quite literally shut down for quite a while.

I'm thinking of buying merch for a YouTube creator I like, for the first time ever. It does feel weird if you've been anti-shilling for a long time.

Story Time

I recently had a long term house-guest turn into a medium term roommate so we needed to get another bed. Like a real bed with a real mattress and everything. I don't have a truck and I hate spending money so my plan was to order a mattress online.

That's right, I was finally up for a fucking Casper. Or a purple mattress. Or whatever ones they have now.

Look, they've been advertised for YEARS and YEARS and it's not like I'm going to impulse buy a wholeass mattress. And this is the first one I've really needed to buy. So I set out to check out all the mattress stores online and all the coupon options and all the advertisements and all the websites.

And then I bought one from Costco.

Sorry podcasters/youtubers. I did sign up for nebula tho.

I don't see it as "shilling", maybe because the ones I watch aren't pushy about it (I only watch a couple and they literally say things along the lines of "this thing is cool, and if you want to buy it, you can use my code, but if you want to use someone else's code, or if you don't want to buy it at all, that's cool too").

I've never bought anything just because I saw a YouTuber advertise it, but I've definitely used their codes to get a discount on things I was already going to buy. Saving money is always nice.

I felt vaguely icky when I ran across, as an ad on a podcast, something I had been using for months and really liked. Like, that's the space for MLMs and boner pills. What is a legit product doing on there? (omg is this a legit product? was I wrong about liking it??)
