Sponsorship I Regret Taking

400$ Oh! thats a lot of money, especially early in her career! "I really undervalued myself..." ....Wow, I'm completely clueless on influencer buisness! 😆

Important point: just as audiences can tell when a creator oversells a product they don't necessarily believe in for a sponsorship, we can also recognize that this is a job and ad revenue is not always reliable. I'm wayyy more willing to let iffy sponsorships slide for smaller creators trying to transition to content creation as a full-time job, especially for their first sponsorship. This only starts to become a real issue when creators scale up, move into luxury accomodations, and pretend that they're poor.

As long as you’re not sponsored by raid shadow legends, i’m in.

You're a class act Christine. You share your experience without trashing people or calling out specific companies or brands.

Is it weird that I don’t watch any of her regular videos but I can’t get enough of these podcast clips?

Ben's voice sounds so soothing. He could do audiobooks. It'd be amazing e.e

I like that you learned and are talking about it now. There should be more youtubers like y’all <3

I really like how you’re able to reflect and learn from your actions without trying to hide all your mistakes or getting defensive. A great role model!

I'm glad you did this video. I typically shop online and often use the recommendations of YouTubers (as they have tried the products).

The five dislikes are the sponsors that she rejected

in the vein of sponsorships, you convinced me, a tea novice, to purchase from David’s (not w your code tho sorry!!!) and tbh it was amazing y’all — from Canada to the US the shipping time was two days I was shook

Can we get Ben an ASMR channel? His voice is perfect!

Raid shadow legend nails? (I’m kidding. I hate how overhyped Raid is.

So often YouTubers delete old videos and I get that from a "oh that isn't me" or there was something really wrong on the video. I think in this case, I'm glad you're not deleting /hiding it because it's effectively an irrelevant sponsorship and it's a learning process. Also you've got so many videos, I dunno if I can be bothered to dig haha

Please do another David’s Tea promo for us! Ooo make a favorite tea flavors and nail polish color collection with them!

These podcasts are so amazing! They're educational about the youtube world, they're entertaining, and a great way to connect with subscribers by answering questions. You guys are simply amazing!

Last comment... I just want to say I like you guys and your channels so much because you are so transparent. Together, you balance one another. Please stay genuine 💜

I appreciate your honesty in these podcasts! Also when you don’t want to talk about something! Good busy, as we say in Dutch 😅

I’m obsessed with these podcasts. Cristine doesn’t make enough YouTube videos anymore so I come here to see her lol. Love watching you too Ben!

Cristine’s fans come up with the HIGHEST quality Tea for her to spill.
