What's on your mind?

I usually like Stevie T videos, but he keeps coming out with very "samey" sponsored videos lately.
He doesn't mention it's sponsored except when it's in the description, and when he shows the product briefly.
The videos are "comparison" videos, where he takes say... a wireless plug for an amp. He then tries to make a wire look bad as he comically trips over it, or spins in a circle with it wrapping around him. Haha, right?
Then he says it "sounds just like the wired". Remember that.
He does a program comparison. He makes the other program look super clunky and bad for your computer. Then he uses the sponsored program, and BOOM, it's the best thing ever, everything's smooth, BUY NOW!
And he says it "sounds just like the other program, but cheaper". Huh.
He does a sponsored video where he spends $2000 for a "Home studio" with a sponsored website.
He makes other websites look clunky and expensive, but this site, oh BOY, a full home studio!
And he says it's "Just as good as the products elsewhere, but cheaper". Huh.
Now, he's done a Micro Amp vs. Big Amp comparison.
Now guess, according to our dear Steve-o do they sound exactly the same, but the micro amp is cheaper?
Yes.
As soon as I saw he was sponsored by the micro amp, I already knew the video and outcome. And that's sad, for someone as creative as him.
His other videos have been random in quality in between the sponsored videos, but I notice he still uses a big amp and wired guitar in them.
It's almost as if the quality WASN'T the same, huh?
