@@ausbi9966 I highly recommend googling better help controversies, as there are a few questionable choices the company has made. Those choices have negatively affected both the counsellors and their clients
@@ausbi9966 for starters they share your sensitive personal data with third parties, which is a crime where I'm from. And if that's not enough for you, they have fishy business practices and other stuff, too.
@@lifeunderthestarstv You know why it gets popular? because the common people finally know the shade behind these companies. People aren't gonna call out a company they know nothing about.
As much as I hate it. I can somewhat tolerate it on animations. It takes ages to create a small amount of animation. So the sponsor will be comparatively long ( I still skip it since it's a crap sponsor)
There is some big point missing. During the Middle Ages, beavers were often treated as fish because they lived in the water. That allowed them to be eaten on those numerous fish-or-vegetable-only days.
Don’t forget that therapists are forced to work to burnout with pitiful pay while customers may get horrible therapists, like one gay customer telling to "therapist" that they was depressed because their family kicked them out and "therapist" told that they should stop to be gay 🤢😡
@@anaverageyoutubeuser "they" is customer who was given homophobic "therapist". They didn’t tell their gender so I used pronoun which has been used for person whose gender/sex is unknown for centuries.
Why do people think "sharing personal data with third parties" is something worth caring about? Why don't you come up with a better reason to be against BetterHelp?
Personally, I'm impressed that BetterHelp have managed to sponsor/ruin every RU-vid video I've watched in the last 6 months. Like, what happened to SquareSpace? Are they ok?
Better help? Really? The website that was being sued because their therapists were no licensed therapists and because they were recording every session? Cmon just take raid shaddow legends, that's genuenly a more reputable sponsor than betterhelp.
@@luisfilipe2023 they are a horrible company, not only they dont have the obligation to put you with an actual psychiatrist (written in their Terms of service) but also sell your information, including information as adictions or secrets
@@Arbidarb really poor quality of "therapist". They ignored my preferences of therapists even though that's part of their sign up form. I even had one guy that spoke purposely slowly and would only respond to pre-filled worksheets. Multiple sessions were centered around my relationship with my wife and kids; I have never been married or have had children. Another one of their "therapists" kept nudging me to convert to Christianity.
@@SuperMetalMage Obviously the therapists not being licensed is a problem, but the rest just sounds like problems you could come across looking for a therapist the normal way. I thought their service was just meant to make it easier to find the right therapist by increasing access to many of them.
I wish audiences would take responsibility on what they spend their own money on so that content creators can get paid and focus on their work. C'mon, everybody should know by now that you shouldnt just buy something just cuz youve seen an ad. As long as its not targeting kids, let them get that bag so they can make more for us to enjoy.
@@damienirwin9102 an exception can ofc be made for physically addicting or otherwise dangerous substances. I doubt many people are going to be addicted to therapy (I hope).
I feel like I'm going crazy. Has everyone forgotten what Betterhelp did?! It wasnt that long ago, I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole let alone let them deal with my mental health! Why are so many people advertising for them?! On another note though, I've never seen a beaver in real life! They are awesome animals though, I'd definitely never wear one!
You don't get it. When a company is hit by a crisis, the money paid to RU-vidrs are significantly higher than the usual rate. This is why you see so many RU-vidrs lately having better help ads because it's an opportunity that it's hard to say no
@@burlacuninel5981 I do get it. I totally understand the mechanics of what's happening. It's just disheartening that so many creators I would otherwise hold in high regard are so easily bought 😕
I came asking "Why didnt we domesticate Beavers?", I left asking "Why are we still supporting personal-data-selling companies masquerading as mental health services like BetterHelp."
The BH sponsorship is massively detracting from what was otherwise a good, proper SideQuest. The best thing I can say is that they didn't interfere with the video content, but they're a predatory business abusing the most vulnerable in our society.
Beavers are quite useful. They create they own habitat which in return benefits insects, trees, plants, insects, birds and even fishes. Especially in dry areas they also help in holding the water for longer.
"Why didnt we domesticate the beavers? " Because if we as species still have to accept sponsorships from complanies like Betterhelp, then what chances do we have
Actually after World War One two Canadian soldiers use their pensions to start a beaver farm. The largest problem was they forgot one thing beavers are monogamous and since in the enclosure they where kept the beaver’s refused to cheat on their mate
I've been a fan of yours way before this channel took off and you provide content on things I'd never think to ask about. Thanks for another great video!
Almost two minutes of ad in less than eight minutes of content, and it's for BetterHelp? Yeah, I have to downvote this. Not that it makes any difference.
Besides domesticated cats, basically all animals were domesticated for the food they could provide. We don't think of it now, but the first evidence of domesticated dogs in Siberia were raised as livestock either partially or fully. Domesticated horses in the steppes have long been raised for meat and their mares milk drank and fermented. Then obviously goats, sheep, cattle, pigs and chickens were raised for meat. One domesticated meat animal not much considered now but very important historically was pigeon. Considering all you mentioned above Beaver would not be a great food source after being domesticated.
Being the largest doesn't necessarily make you more majestic. Or would you say that the farm pigs are more majestic than their wild boars counterparts? The ostrich is the largest non-flying bird, and it's quite majestic. But, is it more majestic than the peacock?
@@josedelapinioI would say being majestic isn't only about looks, it's also about actions, and changing the biome you're in with wood, mud and sheer fucking will is pretty majestic
They're both quite majestic. Beavers get bonus points for shaping their entire ecosystem and other such industrious qualities. (Although, I'd say capybaras also get bonus points for being so docile)
As someone who had no idea people hated better help so much it is hilarious to see 99% of comments are about better help. My mom’s an actual therapist so she’d probably love this.
Good companies generally don't need such advertising campaigns. This is basically on youtube for making it impossible for animation channels to succeed on youtubes normal ads alone, not that those aren't full of rubbish too.
I'm sure there are some, but generally the ones that need to advertise like this are often of questionable quality. Like various free-to-play mobile games whose gameplay dynamics and mechanics complexity differ markedly (and I'm phrasing this politely) from real games, the kinds of games that are not free to play, and which are fun to play.
you now finally lost my subscription. I used to really like your creations, but more and more it is about advertisement. A third of your videos are advertisements, some videos seem to be created directly around an ad.
Damn, you really take everyone as a sponsor, no matter how shitty they are. I get that you need money to run this channel, but selling out your viewers, especially those who actually need mental help, is not nice
I love how everyone on RU-vid banded together to hate on Better Help. Keep on keeping on guys, we will wring them dry from potential customers, don't use Better Help!
Yeh. Na. As soon as i heard the intro to the betterhelp ad. Im out. Gota draw the line somewhere. And if you guys are going to take money without vetting where its coming from. Then there is no integrity. GGs
Thankful for adblock AND another tool which automatically detects sponsor segments and auto-skips them haha. Bucktoothlosers are also a keystone species, essential for habitat restoration and preservation as well as flood mitigation (yes, beavers actually MITIGATE flooding, not exacerbate it)
I know I’m a bit late but I really liked this video, I think people are blowing the ad way out of proportion. The last half of the video was so creative and well put, I’m looking forward to more Mr. Quest
Bro, while I understand that this video, entertaining and informative as it is, probably kept you holed up somewhere for a while, it also kept you out of a certain loop.
That's just the bronze age. The distinction between brass and bronze is a modernism. The timeline is copper->bronze/brass->iron->steel->"super" steels. Native copper alloys tend to have impurities, some of which make it stronger, so using the copper ores with contaminants that gave beneficial properties was just a natural outgrowth of normal copper smelting. Soon enough the concept of purifying and alloying became understood and purposeful used. This is basically the "classical age" of most civilizations, with simple copper usage belonging to the "ancient" era. The ancient copper alloys are tin-bronze, arsenic-bronze, and zinc-brass and some gold-bronzes. Never was there a period when brass was exclusively used, but the era of colonialism and the British empire was when brass usage was at it's peak, with the mines being available and productive, industrialization had been developed, smelting was well understood, naval brasses had been invented, and the need for precision instruments and other durable goods that didn't warp or corrode over time just sitting around led to it's (relative) popularity.
There was a copper age, also called the chalcedonic age. Then people figured out to add tin to the molten copper, to get a much stronger alloy. And then they figured out how to create fires hot enough (hint: charcoal) to soften iron ore. That's worth the trouble, because back then you could find small quantities of iron-containing minerals everywhere, whereas due to geology, copper and tin almost never occur in the same place. This means you need to have long-distance trade if you want a bronze industry, whereas an iron industry is quite hard to disrupt. Brass is arguably just a variant of bronze, where you mix copper with zinc instead of with tin.
There is also the fact that it wasnt until very relatively recent that we learned to intentionally domesticate animals Before the idea of evolution the idea of taking a bunch of (giving for exemple) deer and trying to actively select the less shy or the ones that flee the least to breed to create a deer that can become a pet/cattle would be completely alien Take a look at dog breeds for exemple, it was only after darwins theory of evolution and later the discovery of eugenics that a bunch of new dog breeds appeared. After all before they didnt know how to identify traits or wich one were genetic and wich were from experience of the individual (like a dog that knows how to do tricks) or how to introduce or remove desired traits and so on
I'm picturing a domesticated mastodon in an alternate history; basically a miniature version similar to the Asian elephant but can live in colder climates. It'd be great for protecting herds of sheep, goats, and cows from predators. [sigh] If only.
Many Welsh beaver hunters can confirm that Welsh beaver perfume is a bit fishy, and with good carroting the fur becomes soft and pliable. Owners of domesticated beavers find they have a voracious appetite for wood. However, they are difficult to find but much more desirable than sheep. Of course, being as mad as a hatter helps.🤣
