It’s all about the money.  Watch the entire video, it could save you money.

This is just a modern variation of what's been common practice in marketing and business for decades.  

Most endorsers or sponsors are paid by companies to speak highly of and promote their products and services.  I always laugh when some actor or celebrity is promoting something in a TV ad, yet at the same time disgusted at how greedy they are, getting paid to prostitute themselves for even more money when they already have millions. 

I also see this every day in videos made by people I like and generally agree with, where they take a few minutes to advertise something, claiming that they use it and really like it - yeah, right.  I actually don't blame them as they need the revenue to keep doing what they do, but still cringe a bit when watching.  I couldn't care less what they promote as I know they're paid to do it, so just don't pay any attention to the ads.

Now, reviewers are supposed to be impartial third parties, but I'm not surprised that some of them, or perhaps most of them, are simply paid shills and shysters.  Kind of like the once-respected and supposedly neutral credit ratings agencies claiming that mortgage-backed investments were AAA rated before whole thing came crashing down back in 2009.

This is the world we live in, a world chock full of greed and dishonesty.  Same as it ever was...

I don't understand the original post. Do you possibly mean to say there's a chance that some YT videos cannot be relied upon? And so maybe keyboard cat did not actually know the notes and play that tune!?

Youtube never exaggerates, or cherry picks, just the plain truth and the whole picture.

 

That was funny and pretty well done. The mumbling cat was natural, just edited for timing and effect. I've had cats do similar. The Cyrillic read "cat boxer", more or less. The cat bobbing head was probably done by hands off camera.

All in all, not that different from every movie you've ever seen. The Storm Troopers never hit anything because they weren't shooting anything from the guns! 😄

@Fielder Thanks for posting that.

It means do your own research, follow the white rabbit.

More worthy and profound Youtube wisdom presented here . It's time the world began to learn that Shakespeare was more than just a bald man who could write with feathers.
