Excerpt from a YouTube video (Matt Wolfe, June 10, 2024) where a speaker discusses the ethical tension creators face between honest product criticism and preserving potential future deals. The speaker mentions MKBHD as a topical example and advises prioritizing long-term trust with the audience over short-term sponsorship money.
Like, I worry that will probably hurt me. Like, they'll probably pull back some potential future deals because it's like, well, this guy's talking negatively about us online. But it's like, those are my honest and true thoughts. I don't want to hold them back just because I may get paid by them in the future. And it's really tricky, man. I mean, like, MKBHD obviously has been like super big news over the last month on this topic itself. And so my answer would be protect the long term trust with your audience at all costs, even if you know there's some short term money that you got to leave on the table. Sa.
