  • Nice to see you're unbanned but back on the topic they made them promote their product as their own opinion as they were not allowed to say they were getting paid as a real ad would be.

  • One thing is to pay to promote something and other is to pay to say your product is good and there's nothing wrong about it.

  • if anything, it is telling when a corporation doesn't have faith in the product they're trying to sell.

  • actually, it doesn't. Paying actors to play out a scenario in order to sell your product is not the same as paying non employees to "keep quiet" or praise your product.

  • And you think this is a new thing? Companies do this all of the time. Either way, I don't care.

  • I don't think you understand, Advertising a product is one thing, paying people to say that such product is good and the current problems that exist are lies. Youtubers are reviewers, this example is pretty much the same thing with different people https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfgoDDh4kE0

    You're misunderstanding Lemon (like most of the people ITT are). The potentially illegal part in this promotion (different then previous similar advertising on youtube) is that the Youtubers were not allowed to disclose that they were being paid to endorce. It was disguised as genuine opinion rather than advertisement. That is against both American and British laws. Which require discolsure in such cases. [spoiler]Also longtime no see. Good to see you survived Ninja Justice.[/spoiler]
