The title says it all. I. Hate. Sponsors. Specifically companies who give money to public figures to get them to advertise a product. This extends past “content creation”, including even celebrity cameos. Why? Because I think those kinds of sponsorships prey on a (falsely placed) parasocial trust in public figures. YouTubers, Twitch streamers, celebrities; all kinds of parasocial relationships are being taken advantage of here.

Thus, to help you all avoid companies that do sponsorships, I’ve compiled a list. If you have any suggestions, email me at frostlyte@livebythe.day
