   @olmitch @beardalaxy yeah that's kind of the marketing trick "sales all the times". On top of that they have an idiot catch in that you literally give away coupon codes all the times. It's literally what the picture talks about
   
   The products being nice or not are irrelevant from the trick

     @olmitch @beardalaxy I wrote this a bit wrong, an idiot catch in that they're literally giving coupon code away and you can still somehow end up ordering without coupon at a huge price even if the sites literally tells you. I bet they catch quite a few

     @coolboymew @olmitch look at all these brands that advertise through youtuber sponsorships. there is always some sort of deal going on or some sort of code you can use to get them for cheaper, and even if you can find more quality for the end price somewhere else people still buy them in droves because a youtuber talked about it.

     case in point: raycons.

     @beardalaxy @olmitch I knew raycons would be utter garbage. They're actually a branded version of some cheap chinese clone

     @MasterSimper @coolboymew @olmitch a guy once tried to rope us into a real estate pyramid scheme right out of high school xD it was so obvious, he was giving us all compliments and stuff.

     @MasterSimper @beardalaxy @olmitch When I was desperately searching for jobs I found this realllly fucking suspicious salesman group, they had conferences and all that. The website gave me bad vibes, but it turned out they might have been legit because they did do stuff for local companies... but companies big enough to be able to hire their own employees, so, bah, one of those many shitty useless contractors middlemen companies

     @beardalaxy @coolboymew @olmitch Just pick a big streamer or normieish podcaster and try their code. Its usually the same code across all merchants. I type "woods" in for checkout on literally everything and it registers a valid code like 40% of the time

     @poastoak @beardalaxy @olmitch there's a website for coupons I forgot
     
     But anyways, a lot of the stuff advertised by youtubers is scammish in the first place. The only thing I really kinda wanted was the protein sugarfree cereal that Whang! talks about sometimes and man, it's expensive
