Same to reporters. You may do what is right, then pressure kicks in. So yeah, I hate mainstream. But I don't blame the players, I blame the game.
It’s more reliable and honest and that’s sad.mainstream media purposely tries to turn people against each other and brainwashed people that can’t think for themselves
It's because he'd have the most to lose compared to all of the other large news outlets. He'd be able to get away with lying and skewing facts a lot less than them. And he knows that if he did he'd take a most likely considerable hit. We all love Felix but I'm pretty sure a lot of us would dump him if he was caught lying. At least that's what I hope would happen if he did decided to do that.
Even in real life, I had some serious childhood issues I needed to confront that were holding me back as a husband and father and I had to visit 4 therapists before I found one who didnt just tell me what I wanted to hear and helped me get the courage to change my perspective and take responsibility for the things that I wanted to blame on others and helped me resolve the issues that weren't in my control. My heart goes out to the people who continue to see the glorified enablers masquerading as therapists twice a week for years paying tens of thousands of dollars to be told how they are simultaneously the hero and victim of their own story. I saw my therapist twice a month for 4 months, she gave me homework and excersizes that I had to complete before the next session or she wouldnt see me and it changed my life forever.
You know I find it sad that Felix gets all the backlash he does when sometimes he's really just trying to spread awareness about situations. I haven't been a fan for a long time, but I really respect what you do, Felix.
PewDiePie could've totally changed/reinforced our perspective about BetterHelp, by promoting it and twisting the narrative to make us believe that it still can be helpful for those in pain. He could've made millions just for a small promotion. This is how we know he's a good dude and not just in youtube for the money. He loves youtube. He loves what he does. And he's a genuine nice dude :)
It’s so scary how Pewds had the power to twist the narrative and say “look how great this and how much it helped me and other people etc” and make thousands of dollars in a flash just like that. But not this guy. He did the right thing. And he’s always honest. That’s so rare nowadays. That’s why he’ll always be #1
I missed this originally as it was posted on my birthday ...I'm blown away by it, PewDiePie doesn't need to do this - it's such a brave move on his part to potentially alienate and criticise his fellow UA-camrs because of a cause he believes needs questioning - amazing video
Man I have a lot of respect for pewds, the reason why I am so hesitant to do brand deals is because I like to really investigate what the service is first. This is probably the best example of why everyone should do the same. Really good to see the King of youtube take a similar stance, you are being a good role-model.
As a future psychiatrist, I agree. We aren’t stuck in school for 10+ years for nothing lol there is so much those “qualified” professionals don’t know. Yikes
Betterhelp - $260 / month WoW - $14.99 / month (World of Warcraft is not a complete substitute for a face-to-face examination and/or session by a license qualified professional)
Top tip: go straight to Goldshire after creating a character in WoW. There you will find many ERP-specialists who can help you with many aspects of your life, from economy to sex, and everything in between.
I'm genuinely proud of Felix for bringing this up- I never trusted the site but I know how helpless these things can make you feel and how this might seem like an easy solution. I've suffered from Depression and Anxiety for years and it took a long time to find anything that really worked (give or take 12 years). These people are preying on the hopelessness that we feel and Felix using his platform to call them out on their shit is a demonstration of how he really hasn't lost touch with being a decent person, even through all of the scandals.
For him to be the most subscribed UA-camr (dont know if T-series passed him, fk T-series lol) and still have a thought about the things that are going on in YT, with such objective perspectiv is plausible. Others great youtubers may don't have an opinion about what's happenin, and is completely ok. But Felix is just a great guy
I love that we have someone like Pewdiepie who is at that point in his career that he doesn't give a single fuck about what others think, he is not trying to appeal to anyone, he is just trying to do what he thinks is right.
"After receiving many comments about Better Health ads appearing on this video: since I cant select ads I decided to just remove all ads on it. " Felix is honestly more than what we deserve.
The fact that they can share your data breaks the #1 rule that all therapists must follows: Confidentiality. Unless you tell them plans to commit a crime, therapists legally can not share information about you to other people without your permission.
But if it's written in the terms of service, technically they can share your informations legally with your permission since most people doesn't really read them. I don't believe they're even real therapists, just a bunch of greedy scums.
This was a great video, Felix. Some days, I am plain shocked at how grounded you really are. This is a good message, and matches my thoughts on all this Better Health stuff PERFECTLY. People see you as the joker, the crazy 'youtuber guy', and that's how I saw you, years back - but you have a real maturity, where I actually watch your news videos and while you often come from a place of humor, parody, satire, etc...what you say is often CORRECT. I like that you aren't just attacking people on this, but are making people aware of the issues here. Respect.
I agree, he is a surprisingly respectable person. He isn't just a good guy, he is very thoughtful and careful about what he does. Totally never expected that before I started watching.. But it's totally why I stayed.
Kenny Laysh : I was just like you. I never did like him, and my friend would always post his playthrough back in 2010+ But now the tides has turn, I find myself watching his stuff, his crude humor doesnt bother me anyore, realizing I am just like a "9yrs old" person, immature but can take jokes.... ironically that friend of mine sees him as racist and what most MSM throws about him....
its no coincidence the mainstream bans some of the most well grounded sane rational and logic people while promoting those who are the least well put together
From a person who struggles with anxiety and depression and who actually pays to see real therapists face to face, I respect you all the more Felix for this video. It should have been common sense to see through this scam, but you're one of the few who did and who had enough integrity to not take part in it. So as they say, "common sense ain't so common." Thank you so much for not shying away from expressing your opinions to so many people, even if it means going against the grain and exposing yourself to the vitriol of some. I truly think you are inspiring a lot of young people to cling to their dignity ever stronger in the face of hardship - and you can be sure I'll remember you through this lens rather than that of some og gaming youtuber.
12:16 see THIS is why I like your content. It’s because you speak truth and you’re genuine (Unlike most UA-camrs these days). That advice right there is so true. You the man!
Love how one of the most seemingly juvenile and controversial content creators on the platform is ironically the biggest voices of reason to always speak up. *Pewds is the hero we need, but don't deserve.*
It always astonishes me how intelligent and educated Pewdiepie is. He does his research on just about everything that has even the slightest of importance and seriousness.
well he's a meme god. It's been shown that memers are complete idiots and autistic. The fact that he is as intelligent and knowledgeable and well researched as he is, it's surprising.
I love how out of all the UA-camrs, Felix is always the one who''s most down to earth. I have the highest respect for him just because of these commentary type videos. Everything he says is always SPOT ON, but also unbiased, well researched, respectful and realistic. I feel like he'd be a great teacher and always the one person you'd go to for advice.
Damn I dodged a bullet there; got approached a while ago and was tempted with that payout but figured mental health service is kind of a risky thing to be promoting, thanks Pewds!
This is one of the best videos I've seen in a while. I really appreciate the fact that Felix is attacking an absolute rubbish 'service' that is targeting blatantly emotionally and mentally vulnerable people. The sentiments as to the fact people are taking money from 'referrals' for this site is bang on. At some point, in my opinion anyway, the becomes a moral and ethical decision on how in which you make money. I think many UA-camrs promoting BetterHelp made a bad decision ...
Here we can see the elusive *youtuber that actually looks into shady websites instead of blindly promoting them to there audience for money* a true rare find, one of the last of its kind.
PixxelTrixx I used to be one of those people who blindly hated pew. Until I discovered his moral compass is actually bigger then the people criticizing him.
It's 2024 and BetterHelp came back from the dead. How did it survive? There are now several respected UA-camrs promoting it. Maybe it's the Mandela Effect.
It's surprising considering their legal troubles last year and ongoing (the FTC fine and the lawsuits they are involved in). This company should have imploded in terms of public perception.
I really like how real you are with us Felix. There’s a reason why you’re the most subscribed to youtuber at the moment. you’re intelligent and aren’t fake like many are on this platform. Thanks felix, never change
It's remarkable to witness the extensive reach of Google/UA-cam in the digital realm. Teladoc Health, the parent company of BetterHelp, seems to have a significant advertising presence on these platforms, yet the exact extent of their financial relationship remains a mystery. This partnership extends beyond mere advertising revenue; Teladoc actively collaborates with Google, leveraging data obtained through Google's Fit App & Teladoc openly acknowledges its use of Google Analytics for user insights. Despite Teladoc and BetterHelp's admission to selling customer data, their apps continue to be readily available on Google Play. This situation raises significant ethical concerns, particularly given Google's considerable wealth and influence. It serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences when corporate interests supersede user privacy and transparency.
I tried BetterHelp because of my depression (etc.) and because I currently have no time to look for/see a therapist. Also, traditional therapy is expensive. I watched so many youtubers suggest it, and honestly, it sounded great. Well, I got matched with a therapist and she wanted to call me right away. Which was a really good sign to me! On the phone call, her responses were really delayed, she said “um” a lot and sounded very distracted. It felt like she was doing something else as we were talking and it made me feel like I was interrupting her lol. The next phone session was exactly the same, just very clearly not paying attention. That was a week ago. She hasn’t set up a phone session since. She barely reaches out to me, so I reached out to her in a few long, detailed messages about my days. I wish I could post a screen shots of her response on here. It was literally 5 words, didn’t seem professional, nor did it have much feedback which is what I’m paying her for lol. She then assigned me a therapy “worksheet” that had nothing to do with what I was speaking to her about, which goes back to her just not paying attention to what I was saying. I told her that the worksheet didn’t pertain to me and she said “well, you don’t have to do it”. I decided to cancel my sessions thinking since I am cancelling so early in the month, I would be refunded for half the month or more because I did not want to use the service anymore. This was not the case. I was charged the full month upon signing up (which I was aware of once I signed up) and they told me I could utilize the therapy for the remainder of the month. I guess my counselor must have noticed my cancellation, because she hasn’t reached out to me since. I messaged her yesterday to ask for her guidance on certifying my dog to be a therapy dog.....to at least get SOME benefit out of this debacle and she literally said “Not really. I would just google it.”
Wow! And how unfortunate, because I'm sure some people would like to utilize this opportunity to speak with someone. As you have said about yourself. I would suggest NOT continuing to use the service and just think of it as a learning lesson. These people can do more harm then good, because had some been on the brink...and talked with her and she act as another uncaring person to them, or had they felt like "oh see I am just bothering people", then that's another life lost.
> Since I have a few more weeks left paid for, I am going to switch counselors and I’ll give an update if anyone is interested. If you have the time to post about it again, I'd be very interested to hear how this goes. For science.
Wow, this is terrible. They're literally preying upon the most vulnerable people to make money off of them and potentially causing more trauma to their lives with the lack of actual professional help and no guarantees. Plus, for costs that high, I really don't think online help is even worth it... Hopefully this makes a lot of UA-camrs back out of partnership with them.
@Zura you're assuming that everyone has access to the same resources. Coming from a point of desperation, people will try what they can afford even if it isnt best case scenario From a business standpoint it is up to the company not to advertise in a way that makes it sound like they are at part or almost at par with legitimate therapist
@Zura, but why isn't it the best option for some people? It's better than none at all as long as the therapist has proper education and training in the field and knows when to refer the patient to another specialist. How different is it from sitting in front of a therapist in their office compared to talking to them on the phone or through video chats? There is nothing physical that they need to see about the person so your comparison to someone googling a physical ailment is apples and oranges. Yes, there are some cues that can be picked up through nonverbal communication that a therapist can pick up when face to face but someone working through this type of service should have training to learn to pick up on other cues that they are able to pick up on. Of course, it's not for everyone, but that doesn't mean it's for no one.
McDonald's prey on the most hungry people to make money off them and potentially causing more hearth problems to their lives with the lack of actual professionals chefs....
Felix, you are seriously one of the most humble and genuine guys on the internet. You look after your fans and treat them with respect while still putting out great content. You haven’t let success take over your morals or integrity like it does to so many others. You live frugally in comparison to what you make and you set an all around great example for your fans and for new youtubers to strive for. Your attitude and genuiness is why you will never go out of style. You deserve every subscriber you have. Thank you and keep up the great work!
I can't believe that UA-camrs are still promoting BetterHelp today and don't know about this. This video should be on everyone's recommended right now.
I listen to quite a few podcasts on Spotify, and betterhelp is still, to this day, a very popular sponsor in many of them. It's quite disappointing tbh 😕
I just hope the controversy around Better help doesn't delegitimize therapy as a whole for young UA-cam watchers. They're so many awesome professionals out there who can help you if you need it.
I feel like two worlds have collided right now hahah, i love both your channels so much, thanks for always trying to promote mental health and happiness Chris
I didn't care about Better Help because my medical insurance has access to online counseling with actual therapists that accept medical insurance. If you want online counseling and you have medical insurance, see if that's an option as part of your insurance.
I know seeing some of your older content where you twerk on camera and even some of the things you do nowadays may make this statement seem ridiculous. But you have truly become a role model for me, being one of the most transparent people I have ever seen, outside and inside of the internet. And also using your position on this platform, not to better yourself, but to genuinely discuss topics that interest you such as AI or inform the community on important subjects such as this. Whereas others would find it easy to sell themselves out to this easy cash cow called BetterHelp without looking into it much, you always keep to your morals and apologize when you mess up and you also learn from it. These are qualities that I see in you which I am currently working on myself, so thank you Felix, I will always be part of the Bro/9-year-old Army!
Man Pewds, I know you’re not a glutton for controversy but you also know how to dive head first into it. Thank you for being the voice we need. You’re a brave dude and I hope the backlash doesn’t pull you down again bro.
Not so long ago I had an emotional rant through messaging to one of my friends, I came out with all sorts of "depressive" terminologies and then the next day every advert on my phone was for the better help website.....creepy
You can actually turn that off, I think. They call it "Personalized advertising" and it automatically is turned on, on your phone. How you find the setting may vary, depending on your model of phone. I believe I went to Google settings and turned it off from there, and since then I've been getting more generic ads.
I had a bad experience with Better Help and I reached out to get a refund and they said they would refund but NEVER did so I had to open a case with PayPal.
Basic entry level legalise to protect themselves. Every ToS has a clause like this for literally everything its not as damning as people make it sound.
@@SillySugarGliders I mean even in Norway it's like that. It would cost 140$ for my ex per session. Unless you really struggle then a private therapist would be hella expensive, even in a country known for its pretty good healthcare
@@SillySugarGliders yes, it is sometimes. I just moved to another city and the mental health system is messed up. Can’t find a therapist under 180 dollars without insurance. I can’t get insurance for reasons right now (like almost 26 million other Americans). Of course it’d be cheaper but you’re still paying for the insurance
Oof, I was approached by these guys for sponsorship but felt super sketchy about making money off of people's mental health... especially when I saw that it was $65/week (crazy for what they offer tbh). Very glad I didn't work with them.
Videos like this prove to me that Felix is the most deserving of the top spot on UA-cam. He’s grown to be one of the most respectable faces for this website.
I remember unsubscribing from Felix in 2014 because his content seemed hollow to me at the moment, and I started considering him just a loud stupid guy. Four years later, I am amazed at how he can present a controversial opinion with such honesty, clarity, and seriousness. Warms my heart. Resubbed.
He's like the batman of the justice league , when the league readily agrees to help a distress call , Batman says "no" and moniters the situation before appearing in the last minute countering whatever hidden agenda that distress has .

At least that's what I hope would happen if he did decided to do that.

Even in real life, I had some serious childhood issues I needed to confront that were holding me back as a husband and father and I had to visit 4 therapists before I found one who didnt just tell me what I wanted to hear and helped me get the courage to change my perspective and take responsibility for the things that I wanted to blame on others and helped me resolve the issues that weren't in my control. My heart goes out to the people who continue to see the glorified enablers masquerading as therapists twice a week for years paying tens of thousands of dollars to be told how they are simultaneously the hero and victim of their own story. I saw my therapist twice a month for 4 months, she gave me homework and excersizes that I had to complete before the next session or she wouldnt see me and it changed my life forever.

Edit: So I just checked and uhhh... Imma have to pass on this one chief.
PewDiePie could've totally changed/reinforced our perspective about BetterHelp, by promoting it and twisting the narrative to make us believe that it still can be helpful for those in pain. He could've made millions just for a small promotion. This is how we know he's a good dude and not just in youtube for the money. He loves youtube. He loves what he does. And he's a genuine nice dude :)
Amen
Nice, well said
Preach it
Damb yeah
damn...you right
It’s so scary how Pewds had the power to twist the narrative and say “look how great this and how much it helped me and other people etc” and make thousands of dollars in a flash just like that.
But not this guy. He did the right thing. And he’s always honest. That’s so rare nowadays.
That’s why he’ll always be #1
Yeah with millions of views each day, 200$ each signup, he could've made hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars.

I missed this originally as it was posted on my birthday ...I'm blown away by it, PewDiePie doesn't need to do this - it's such a brave move on his part to potentially alienate and criticise his fellow UA-camrs because of a cause he believes needs questioning - amazing video
I honestly agree - and he's not biased on it either, he has a balanced view
Happy birthday from the future.

it isnt criticism, its just for context...
He didnt alienate anyone he mentioned that i wasnt there fault ut was just for context
Man I have a lot of respect for pewds, the reason why I am so hesitant to do brand deals is because I like to really investigate what the service is first. This is probably the best example of why everyone should do the same.

I've suffered from Depression and Anxiety for years and it took a long time to find anything that really worked (give or take 12 years).

The fact that they can share your data breaks the #1 rule that all therapists must follows: Confidentiality.
Unless you tell them plans to commit a crime, therapists legally can not share information about you to other people without your permission.
But if it's written in the terms of service, technically they can share your informations legally with your permission since most people doesn't really read them. I don't believe they're even real therapists, just a bunch of greedy scums.
@@ebc6970 No they can't. Just because something is in a contract doesn't make it legal.
They are not therapists, therefore they are not HIPPA compliant.
@Frogger A lot of people
depends on the type of information. As long as you can't be identified, they do share your information all the time.
This was a great video, Felix. Some days, I am plain shocked at how grounded you really are. This is a good message, and matches my thoughts on all this Better Health stuff PERFECTLY. People see you as the joker, the crazy 'youtuber guy', and that's how I saw you, years back - but you have a real maturity, where I actually watch your news videos and while you often come from a place of humor, parody, satire, etc...what you say is often CORRECT. I like that you aren't just attacking people on this, but are making people aware of the issues here. Respect.
I agree, he is a surprisingly respectable person. He isn't just a good guy, he is very thoughtful and careful about what he does. Totally never expected that before I started watching.. But it's totally why I stayed.
Kenny Laysh : I was just like you. I never did like him, and my friend would always post his playthrough back in 2010+
But now the tides has turn, I find myself watching his stuff, his crude humor doesnt bother me anyore, realizing I am just like a "9yrs old" person, immature but can take jokes.... ironically that friend of mine sees him as racist and what most MSM throws about him....

From a person who struggles with anxiety and depression and who actually pays to see real therapists face to face, I respect you all the more Felix for this video. It should have been common sense to see through this scam, but you're one of the few who did and who had enough integrity to not take part in it. So as they say, "common sense ain't so common." Thank you so much for not shying away from expressing your opinions to so many people, even if it means going against the grain and exposing yourself to the vitriol of some. I truly think you are inspiring a lot of young people to cling to their dignity ever stronger in the face of hardship - and you can be sure I'll remember you through this lens rather than that of some og gaming youtuber.

Can we have this resurface on UA-cam?? It is still so relevant as there are still so much Betterhelp advertisement.
It's remarkable to witness the extensive reach of Google/UA-cam in the digital realm. Teladoc Health, the parent company of BetterHelp, seems to have a significant advertising presence on these platforms, yet the exact extent of their financial relationship remains a mystery. This partnership extends beyond mere advertising revenue; Teladoc actively collaborates with Google, leveraging data obtained through Google's Fit App & Teladoc openly acknowledges its use of Google Analytics for user insights.
Despite Teladoc and BetterHelp's admission to selling customer data, their apps continue to be readily available on Google Play. This situation raises significant ethical concerns, particularly given Google's considerable wealth and influence. It serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences when corporate interests supersede user privacy and transparency.
Please🫡
I am so disturbed by this, I will have to sign up for betterhelp to cope
How funny cause Im gonna go for a jobby job there 😆 no experience necessary he he
madlad! now I need betterhelp to cope to your comment
I tried BetterHelp because of my depression (etc.) and because I currently have no time to look for/see a therapist. Also, traditional therapy is expensive. I watched so many youtubers suggest it, and honestly, it sounded great.
Well, I got matched with a therapist and she wanted to call me right away. Which was a really good sign to me! On the phone call, her responses were really delayed, she said “um” a lot and sounded very distracted. It felt like she was doing something else as we were talking and it made me feel like I was interrupting her lol. The next phone session was exactly the same, just very clearly not paying attention. That was a week ago. She hasn’t set up a phone session since.
She barely reaches out to me, so I reached out to her in a few long, detailed messages about my days. I wish I could post a screen shots of her response on here. It was literally 5 words, didn’t seem professional, nor did it have much feedback which is what I’m paying her for lol.
She then assigned me a therapy “worksheet” that had nothing to do with what I was speaking to her about, which goes back to her just not paying attention to what I was saying. I told her that the worksheet didn’t pertain to me and she said “well, you don’t have to do it”.
I decided to cancel my sessions thinking since I am cancelling so early in the month, I would be refunded for half the month or more because I did not want to use the service anymore. This was not the case. I was charged the full month upon signing up (which I was aware of once I signed up) and they told me I could utilize the therapy for the remainder of the month. I guess my counselor must have noticed my cancellation, because she hasn’t reached out to me since.
I messaged her yesterday to ask for her guidance on certifying my dog to be a therapy dog.....to at least get SOME benefit out of this debacle and she literally said “Not really. I would just google it.”
hope all goes well
Wow! And how unfortunate, because I'm sure some people would like to utilize this opportunity to speak with someone. As you have said about yourself.
I would suggest NOT continuing to use the service and just think of it as a learning lesson. These people can do more harm then good, because had some been on the brink...and talked with her and she act as another uncaring person to them, or had they felt like "oh see I am just bothering people", then that's another life lost.
> Since I have a few more weeks left paid for, I am going to switch counselors and I’ll give an update if anyone is interested.
If you have the time to post about it again, I'd be very interested to hear how this goes. For science.
Could you maybe open a google drive folder to upload the screenshots so that more people could see this?
Girl everything you write and tell them is data better help might use and exploit, they don’t protect your privacy...caution advised

They're literally preying upon the most vulnerable people to make money off of them and potentially causing more trauma to their lives with the lack of actual professional help and no guarantees. Plus, for costs that high, I really don't think online help is even worth it... Hopefully this makes a lot of UA-camrs back out of partnership with them.
@Zura you're assuming that everyone has access to the same resources. Coming from a point of desperation, people will try what they can afford even if it isnt best case scenario
From a business standpoint it is up to the company not to advertise in a way that makes it sound like they are at part or almost at par with legitimate therapist
Zura But googling symptoms doesn’t cost that much.
@Zura, but why isn't it the best option for some people? It's better than none at all as long as the therapist has proper education and training in the field and knows when to refer the patient to another specialist. How different is it from sitting in front of a therapist in their office compared to talking to them on the phone or through video chats? There is nothing physical that they need to see about the person so your comparison to someone googling a physical ailment is apples and oranges. Yes, there are some cues that can be picked up through nonverbal communication that a therapist can pick up when face to face but someone working through this type of service should have training to learn to pick up on other cues that they are able to pick up on. Of course, it's not for everyone, but that doesn't mean it's for no one.
Betterhelp , myherritage etc are scams to get data
McDonald's prey on the most hungry people to make money off them and potentially causing more hearth problems to their lives with the lack of actual professionals chefs....
Felix, you are seriously one of the most humble and genuine guys on the internet. You look after your fans and treat them with respect while still putting out great content. You haven’t let success take over your morals or integrity like it does to so many others. You live frugally in comparison to what you make and you set an all around great example for your fans and for new youtubers to strive for. Your attitude and genuiness is why you will never go out of style. You deserve every subscriber you have. Thank you and keep up the great work!

What a well written comment.
I can't believe that UA-camrs are still promoting BetterHelp today and don't know about this. This video should be on everyone's recommended right now.
Some of the UA-camrs I enjoy watching have promoted it.
Ever since this video, I've felt weird whenever someone's promoted it. Especially since you can't tell if they know about it or not.
I listen to quite a few podcasts on Spotify, and betterhelp is still, to this day, a very popular sponsor in many of them. It's quite disappointing tbh 😕
I just hope the controversy around Better help doesn't delegitimize therapy as a whole for young UA-cam watchers. They're so many awesome professionals out there who can help you if you need it.

I know seeing some of your older content where you twerk on camera and even some of the things you do nowadays may make this statement seem ridiculous. But you have truly become a role model for me, being one of the most transparent people I have ever seen, outside and inside of the internet. And also using your position on this platform, not to better yourself, but to genuinely discuss topics that interest you such as AI or inform the community on important subjects such as this. Whereas others would find it easy to sell themselves out to this easy cash cow called BetterHelp without looking into it much, you always keep to your morals and apologize when you mess up and you also learn from it. These are qualities that I see in you which I am currently working on myself, so thank you Felix, I will always be part of the Bro/9-year-old Army!
MegaLuc3 can y’all sub to me please?
Best grammar I’ve seen on these comments in a while 😂
I mean, thats how he stays on top for all these years. UA-cam KING for this exact reason.
@Alexis Marrero: We will always stay 9 years old in our hearts.
Well said, I feel the same way about Pewds, still leaps ahead of other UA-camrs willing to sell their integrity for a couple of bucks
This video is 5 years old AND IT'S STILL RELEVANT
WHY ARE UA-camRS STILL TAKING SPONSORSHIPS FROM BETTERHELP
Greed
Scamming people who suffer from depression is new level of low, disgusting.
@@PancakeBoi I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THAT ASSHOLE
Who kills depressed yuri and sayori >:(
Deleting people who suffer from depression is new level of low, disgusting.
I strongly.... AGREE! It's disgusting.
NFKRZ video: better help has hit a new low
You know when seriouse Felix is on screen that the topic is a hard one.
You already know it when the video title isn't all caps
Poppy harlow*
AaronTheBlackDragon R.I.P grammar
love this video!! anybody want to be youtuber friends?
You mean Poppy Harlow
Man Pewds, I know you’re not a glutton for controversy but you also know how to dive head first into it.
Thank you for being the voice we need. You’re a brave dude and I hope the backlash doesn’t pull you down again bro.
6 years later and we're back
Not so long ago I had an emotional rant through messaging to one of my friends, I came out with all sorts of "depressive" terminologies and then the next day every advert on my phone was for the better help website.....creepy
That’s a yikes from me...
They are collecting data for marketing via your phone.
You can actually turn that off, I think. They call it "Personalized advertising" and it automatically is turned on, on your phone. How you find the setting may vary, depending on your model of phone. I believe I went to Google settings and turned it off from there, and since then I've been getting more generic ads.
@@johnfulcher8448 WTF
Robin Hoot I’m sorry, what?
I had a bad experience with Better Help and I reached out to get a refund and they said they would refund but NEVER did so I had to open a case with PayPal.
ua-cam.com/video/_xU-81zPFE0/v-deo.html
paypal is the shit and why did u need to share that?
Provide evidence screen shot and show them your emails ! Hope you get your money back
Should've read the ToS!
*"you can talk to a professional!"*
*"We do not guarantee the LICENSURE or QUALIFICATIONS of any therapist"*
Lol o.
Basic entry level legalise to protect themselves. Every ToS has a clause like this for literally everything its not as damning as people make it sound.
Key word: CAN. Doesn't mean will.
@rekrn12345 NO. IT'S NOT! Stfu
@@yourecompletelytrue1401 Amazing and completely coherent argument you got there.
They should change it to "You can talk to a professional... or not!"
the funny thing is, i pay about $13 bucks per sessions with an actual psychologist🤷♀️
yes, with health insurance and sopay, it can really help you financially with ur sessions! glad to hear youre getting the proper help you desreve
Do you have health insurance? Because I didn't when I was going to therapy and I paid about $150 a session.
I pay 80€ and get 30€ back from the insurance
@@SillySugarGliders I mean even in Norway it's like that. It would cost 140$ for my ex per session. Unless you really struggle then a private therapist would be hella expensive, even in a country known for its pretty good healthcare
@@SillySugarGliders yes, it is sometimes. I just moved to another city and the mental health system is messed up. Can’t find a therapist under 180 dollars without insurance. I can’t get insurance for reasons right now (like almost 26 million other Americans). Of course it’d be cheaper but you’re still paying for the insurance
Didn't take that website seriously when they said they didn't keep info private. That's counselling 101, privacy
unknown guy thats what i thought
is counseling 101 really a thing? (asking foreal here)
The king of youtube has spoken, we 9 year olds are officialy waging war on BetterHelp, we are coming for you
The reviews are fake anyway.
Yeet
The king will be dethroned in a few days.....
😢😢
9 year olds, whats your profession?!
@@ShubhamPatil-cb8dk he'll remain the king even after t series takes over. T series is limited to India, pewds is watched all over the world.
you know when felix uses *that tone of voice* where you just know he's 100% serious
Poppy Harlow*
So glad I found Pewds during quarantine. Great guy!
How do u not know him
@@richasocool i think he knows but simply havent watch pewds before
Oof, I was approached by these guys for sponsorship but felt super sketchy about making money off of people's mental health... especially when I saw that it was $65/week (crazy for what they offer tbh). Very glad I didn't work with them.
Of course a Harvard student would know better, tsk tsk
AssasinArsenal47 dude just...just go ok just go
BetterFish
Omg I love your channel man!
Thank you for making video,i start reading more book after i found your channel.
Videos like this prove to me that Felix is the most deserving of the top spot on UA-cam. He’s grown to be one of the most respectable faces for this website.
Same

I remember unsubscribing from Felix in 2014 because his content seemed hollow to me at the moment, and I started considering him just a loud stupid guy. Four years later, I am amazed at how he can present a controversial opinion with such honesty, clarity, and seriousness. Warms my heart. Resubbed.
He's like the batman of the justice league , when the league readily agrees to help a distress call , Batman says "no" and moniters the situation before appearing in the last minute countering whatever hidden agenda that distress has .
yes same story here
