Stealth marketing: Microsoft paying YouTubers for Xbox One mentions

[winb83]

I do, but like I said its up to the person making the video to preserve their own integrity don't put your opinions in your advertisements.

so basically you're trying to shift the blame from the company paying people then making the terms of payment to hide the fact that they were paid to say it to the person that accepts that deal?

you do understand that if the company doesn't solicit the advertising then it doesn't happen? Microsoft it totally at fault here. there's no way around that fact.

Not trying to shift anything. Once again all companies find ways to advertise their stuff. If someon on youtube is lying to you then that's on them.

And I read the agreement and it doesn't say that people aren't allowed to make it clear they are being paid. It just says the terms of the contract should be kept confidential. None of us are lawyers but I assume most contracts of this type of that type of language in them.

This is a controversy created and now being debated by people who really don't understand what's going on.

This is not new. When Sony was giving all those "youtubers" free PS4's and games before launch. You think it was not implied to give them a favorable review? But go ahead and think everything neg is a MS invention.

bad example......

Not really. A blogger can just categorize their video as paid or an ad, and they wouldn't have to disclose any info about the contract. In fact some of the people involved in this promotion did just that.
