One of my favorite YouTubers got into a little hot water recently when he trashed his sponsors machine. Yes, I'm talking about Lance and Longevity Welders. I like Lance and I think he has the utmost in integrity, but I don't think he really understood the price of all those fancy and seemingly FREE welders. By accepting those gifts, it seems he entered the role of "Paid Endorser" and I can only assume received a heck of a backlash from Longevity when he spoke the truth about what they had sent him.
I'd love to get free stuff too (who wouldn't?) but not at the cost of having to be someone's stooge, and that's what I am most proud of Lance for. He did what he knew was right, he told the truth. He might have paid the price, and learned a valuable lesson, but he had integrity and that counts for a lot in my book.
Way to go Lance!
