    I think with any advertising, the moment you give it a personal endorsement, ie you say you've used it and think it's good, a line has been crossed.

    Now if that endorsement is true, fine. But if it's not? At that point you're just lying to people because somebody paid you too. You don't have to lie to advertise anything, so fuck you if you do.

    My Giant Bomb videos are surrounded by an enormous amount of positivity

    My Undertale video, on the other hand

    I'm pretty sure there are people out there who just search for things that they think are "social justicey" just to shit on them regardless of quality or content, and undertale unfortunately is one of those things.

    I tried blue apron out and the food was pretty good but the idea that there'd be leftovers from that portion sizes baffles me

    I was getting the two-serving plan and was definitely eating both servings myself almost every time

    How much would it cost to get TWA to endorse a line of terrible products?

    Question 2 - should I start a line of terrible products just to get TWA to endorse them?

    I have a twitter.

    The money zone has gotten a bit bloated, but the only time I really had a problem with it was when they were advertising that quick loan company. That was not great

    Oh it's not a great video, despite it being by far my most popular one

    But most of the bickering I've seen in the comments come from people who are clearly Undertale and Homestuck fans

    Much as I love both of those things, I totally get how anyone could be turned off by the fanbase

    2. Yes

    I can't make any decisions for Chincy (and I would imagine any decisions like this would be made by the team as a whole anyway), but my preference would be that we ONLY advertise terrible products and that we be entirely upfront about how terrible they are.

    I've been thinking about doing blue apron because I basically don't cook at all and I'd like to get better at it, and having exactly what I need sent to me would help with that.

    The problem is it's portioned and priced for 2, and I'm worried that it'll end up a waste of my money because I'll get too much food that ends up going to waste if I don't like a recipe or screw one up.

    Anyone have any experience with it?

    I've been doing it

    It's 3 meals for 2, which means if you are just cooking for one, you'll end up eating leftovers for lunch or dinner the next day, which is fine for me (for reference though, they are 500-700 calorie meals). You can see ahead of time what the dishes are going to be, so you can skip a delivery or swap out one of the meals for one of the veggie alternates, if you think you won't like them. I've had a few minor screw ups, which haven't ruined the dish.

    I do some cooking already though, and I find $60 a week a little more expensive than I'd like, so I've started only getting 1 or 2 shipments per month, selecting ones with dishes I would especially like or are unusual enough where I wouldn't otherwise try to make.

    End on
    I wish that someway, somehow, that I could save every one of us

    I'd listen to the money zone if it was shorter. Sometimes I listen to Bomb/Beastcast ads if I can't be bothered to get my phone out and jump forward a minute or whatever. The money zone is 8-10 minutes though, and half of it is always the same products.

    Honestly I skip the Money Zone most of the time because it's the same products every week. I can only hear patter about MeUndies and Blue Apron so many times. There's rarely enough #content in those bits anymore. At least when Travis tries to make up terrible slogans for the products or something there's some entertainment there.

    I always listen to the podcast ad segments because it would be way more work for me to skip them.

    The one ad where it seemed abundantly clear Jeff hated the thing he was advertising was that Ralphie May one.

    The one thing I remember about Ralphie May at this point is that he threw a temper tantrum on Twitter over Chelsea Peretti naming her Netflix special "One of the the Greats"
