Such companies "sponsor" everyone. It's cheaper than normal advertisements.
You've got some companies advertising with streamers/youtubers that do some checks on who they advertise with. They use specialised communication agencies, it's their job.
Yes, and then you have companies like Proton Mail.
Companies that neither do their job nor get someone to do it for them, and end up financing fascists, even though they should be especially careful given their CEO past declarations ?
Nah. Nintendo have literally removed people from their Ambassador program over things like suicide ideation and talking about getting help for it. Proton absolutely can and probably should vet their ambassador program.
Even Proton themselves admit that this was a misstep.
It still means that my subscription fees are ending up in the pockets of a far right “influencer”. Fuck them for doing me dirty like that.
