    Ben, I need you to understand. You can think you've run out of ideas for this podcast or feel like it's not entertaining. But believe me when I tell you I'll happily watch episodes of you two just talking about anything...ANYthing. This podcast is the best thing about Tuesday!! So don't worry, nothing is boring. 😄
    P.s. plz bring back movie explanations bc those are so fun!

      He underestimates just how naturally funny they are, they don't have to try or be "on", the best part of both of their channels is they're entertaining without trying too hard. Maybe the episode wasn't as funny or maybe the topics weren't as fun for him to discuss but I was certainly entertained & did laugh, every episode is different & that's ok. I understand them not wanting to continue these if they no longer enjoy recording them but I selfishly really hope we're nowhere near the end of the podcast cuz I really look forward to these.

    As someone who works with brands and reaches out to potential partners like you to work with them, I found this funny and educational! I'm glad I don't word my emails this way anymore (I was literally given templates like these to use LOL) and I think more people with platforms should voice their opinion on partnerships, etiquette, and such so brands can learn how the industry is changing. Unfortunately, some brands really don't respect the work of some "influencers"/ artists. Hoping to see more meaningful partnerships as time goes on.

    One of the biggest real respect Cristine and Ben so much is that they totally could do all these ads or sponsorships just for money, but because they have such a high level respect for their viewers/community.

    Re: subscription tracker - Budget apps like Mint, YNAB, and DAS require integration/connection to a bank account or Credit card to track spending. So it's not too far fetched for an app to need direct access to then *find* the recurring charges and notify you. Cristine's comment "it should be the bank that helps you track that" is SO right. That's why I'm so sad Simple bank shut down. Monzo bank has gotten super close. And DAS integration looks super close too.

    Yeah about Established Titles, if they just drop the 'legal' and 'official titles' stuff, it's gonna be another novelty/gag gift that can be used as inside jokes between friends or families. But they let creator said something along the lines of 'youre legally a lord can use that in legal document like passport or things', so thats probably the 'scam' part.

    I had a guy try to pick me up by talking crypto 😂 I have a shiba, the dog breed the internet knows as doge. I was sitting outside the grocery store with my dog, and a guy walks up and comments on my dog and asks to say hi to her (not uncommon, she's stinking cute). He then goes like "oh did you know there's a cryptocurrency called doge coin", and starts telling me about what doge is (I have a shiba; I know) and about the currency. As soon as I can get a word in I say "yeah my spouse bought a couple just for fun since we have a shiba". As soon as I mention my spouse his face falls and he walked off.
    Dude, even if I wasn't in a relationship... Crypto is not flirty small talk!!! 😬

  • @jadziajan
    @jadziajan Рік тому +3

    Unfortunately I'll never really tolerate ad reads, personally. I think sponsorships should be alright, but ad reads are very often *multiple minutes* of someone trying ridiculously hard to sell you a product because they want to be sponsored again next month. If I watched TV, I would mute ads, so why should I listen to multiple minutes of ads - especially if I already have to endure numerous ads throughout the video? There's a certain point where it takes away from the content. Not only that, but it also alienates viewers from a different country where whatever service or product you're advertising isn't available. Brands most likely know UA-camrs are willing to drag their ads out for the pay.
    I used to listen to UA-cam videos to fall asleep, which is the only instance when I might not be able to skip the ad... but I don't really like the idea of being advertised to when I sleep. C'mon.

    I'd kill to see the scottish titles sales figures even after videos like these where people are critical. you'd only need 100 people to go "huh that sounds like a fun idea for christmas" for them to make $5k in sales (not saying you have any control over that, just as a point of interest)
    I actually think ads are still just as powerful, especially if people associate the product with a parasocial relationship. like "I'm gonna get these shitty headphones to support the creator I feel close to"
    ads just on a website are far less effective than ones that are integrated into content that someone feels emotionally invested in. it's kinda insidious.

      I'd say it's likely more a scam than is being talked about because everyone focused on the lord/lady thing -- and focused on "sillyness" of what likely small minority of folk that thought it made them royalty vs. the more common comment that thought it gave them the legal right to use the title Lord/Lady that they otherwise would not have -- and not researching more into their other claims
      - According to a land blogger/researcher (Andy Wightman iirc) who looked at the land records, they only own 55.7 acres that only cost them 37k pounds. (which is under 2.5mil "1 square foot plots") -- they claim hundreds of acres of land
      - There's no figures on exactly how many customers they had, e.g. how many plots sold
      - to find plot coordinates, need to separately contact them with email + plot number
      - The 2mill trees planted figure is from December 2021 (per waybackmachine) via one charity (trees for future), who's average cost per "tree" is *25 cents* (they provide education and seeds, not clear when a tree is considered a tree)
      - The 2mil trees planted figure was on their website in Dec 2021 but was replaced with "Over 42k pounds donated", so... did it cost them 500k$ or a lot less to plant those 2mil trees...? o.O
      - The other tree charity is one tree planted is 1$ a tree individual rate but no figures on how many planted via them
      - They have an 8$ monthly plant *one* tree "pledge" that is autochecked by default but ... 25 cents to a dollar for a tree with the charities they work with
      - 50$ is the average min price, but plots went up to 300$+ on the assumption it was really helping, or 100$+ to get a physical framed certifake
      - See Lady of Library's video on a Scottish perspective on why this is culturally insensitive /not helpful
      - Tree planting can not help the ecosystem if done badly, see various deep dives on this on youtube
      So it's likely they aren't preserving they land they are, they are overall not looked as helping per Scottish commentors, it looks like barely any money (compared to how much they raised) are going to help the world, despite that being a key part of their sell.
      The thing about youtuber creators is that information about this being a scam is years old as this has been a scam, so most youtubers either didn't care or aren't considerate of their users money -- which considering how many people are struggling, that's uggh.
      On they saying this isn't harmful (in the podcast): it is, see LegalEagle's end of video take on this -- it wasted a lot of money that people thought were giving to a "good cause" that could have gone directly to help the world, and it's broken a lot of trust of viewers in sponsorships, making it harder for more legit sponsors/creators to make money.

    A gag gift is something that is an obvious joke to both the giver and receiver. Something they can laugh at together.
    A scam is deliberately deceitful.
    I never got an established title, but I'm not comfortable with how the conversation has been turning toward the people who believed the advertisements and purchased what they thought was a really cool gift.
    Many won't care, but it's probably making a lot of thoughtful people now feel embarrassed or ashamed for "falling for" a trick.
    Fifty dollars is a lot of money to a lot of people, and it seems like we're taking the heat off of the company who was taking advantage of customers who believed the UA-camrs they watch regularly.
    I'm not saying customers thought they could travel to Scotland and everybody would start calling them Lord or Lady, but a lot of the advertisements were very specifically pointing out an actual, physical plot of land that you would own and saying your plot is near my (the UA-camr's) plot.
    So, if they don't own that square meter or foot of land or whatever, and a tree is not planted on it, then a lot of people have been scammed, and that's not okay just because the consumers didn't have the education or experience level to know the advertisements were false.
    (And those who did think they would technically be a Lord on paper shouldn't be ashamed either because company spent millions(?) of dollars making that the main talking point through hundreds of UA-camrs.)

    I think Simply was trying to talk about how in the past, if a content creator had a sponsorship they might get a lot of shit from their fans for "selling out". There has been a large shift though in subscribers wanting creators to do well and make money and they seem to understand that they might need to take a sponsorship to create quality content.
    I think this community that Simply as created understands this that she only does things that she cares about because we have a level of trust with her and the opinions she gives.

    I find it disingenuous when people (usually those who’ve taken sponsorships from Established Titles previously) claim it was always advertised as a gag gift and nothing more. Before this controversy I saw many sponsorships that claimed things like:
    - it uses a “legal loophole” that made you an “official” lord (completely false)
    - the plot of land you buy (which doesn’t exist) will be placed near the sponsored youtuber’s plot
    - that a tree was going to be planted directly on your lot (not that the money was simply going to a tree planting charity).
    This wasn’t just dumb people thinking a gag gift gave you real land and a legal title, that’s exactly what it was advertised to do. These claims I saw first hand weren’t from small UA-camrs either, I think the company should be liable for letting them false advertise on their behalf.

    Established Titles thing- So many people who saw through the promise go straight to the name a star stuff, but here's the thing: Name a star doesn't promise astronomers will use that name. They say you get a card about "your" star. WFF adopt a baby animal doesn't claim they're sending you a baby animal to take care of, they say you're getting this plushie stand-in. ET said "you officially become a lord or lady." They originally claimed you could use your title on your passport (and have backpedalled hard on that now.) ET was making promises that sounded vaguely reasonable (a meaningless title could reasonably be that cheap) with very promising language. That's the scam part. I'm not mad at the channels that took the sponsorships (except the ones who angrily defended themselves and mocked those who didn't clock the gimmick) but I do think ET is making far too much money off of a poorly worded gimmick.

Full disclosure though, if someone offered me thousands of dollars to do an ad-read (unless it's something harmful, like that stupid tea people used to always promote) I'd probably do it and hope people would also skip ahead if they wanted to.

    As a Scottish person, I've found both Established Titles and the sponsorships done by UA-camrs really frustrating and offensive. Lots of jokes about Scottish culture at our expense (its really not all lords and ladies, shortbread, tartan, and bagpipes - we're way more interesting than that!! Promise!!), making out like we're stuck in the very distant past, ignoring a lot of the history around land ownership (and the current state of land access/ownership). Even if its not real and you don't own anything - it ignores that so many people in Scotland struggle to make it by, struggle to own homes or land of their own, etc. and a big part of that is the actual estate owners who hoard land. Overall, the company feels exploitative with regards to my home country and culture, and UA-camrs making uneducated jokes about my culture doesn't sit right with me.

    Why does everyone only focus on the title aspect of established titles, which wasn't the only aspect of the scam? They weren't purchasing any land for preservation as they claimed and the organizations they worked with to plant the trees currently don't work in Scotland. The whole point was based on preserving Scottish wild areas but that wasn't happening. Even if the false title was the only thing, they were advertising people to put this on financial records like CC applications. I doubt anyone could actually get in trouble for this as the CC agency would say no if it wasn't allowed but their advertising made it clear they wanted people to think this was real. It is cool that the company was donating money to other charities but that doesn't mean they aren't a scam.

    I like it when a creator is transparent about their advertising from the standpoint of either it’s clearly something that’s relevant to the audience and they’ve repeatedly vetted or somewhat unrelated to the content but vetted as a decent company. A lot of the tech channels are really good about listening to the audience and market and will dump a sponsor in a heart beat if they’re screwing their listeners.
