    I really like her project, focus, and presentation. I appreciate that video makers need to have some kind of income.

    Whenever BetterHelp is used to sponsor a video, I think this video (YT) should also appear.

    I’m not calling for censorship of videos that use it as a sponsor, just spreading awareness of that vendor’s reputation and history. I know that making content for YouTube is an extremely stressful job, and having a reliable source of income greatly reduces that anxiety. I hope Abby Cox continues to make great videos, I really appreciate her attention to detail and thoughtfulness and empathy for people who most of society has swept under the rug.

      I wasn’t aware BetterHelp was so awful, good to know. With my use of SponsorBlock, I generally don’t see sponsored ad content in videos. I’ll try to briefly check their sponsors before posting.
