two things:

tiddies are not required in order to wear this shirt, but it does improve the wearing experience imho (no mere coincidence the eyes are approximately tiddy-level, that's all i'm sayin)

sick of men telling you to smile? i have never had anyone tell me "smile!" whilst wearing this shirt

that is all.

HAPPY SPOOKY SEASON! Have some merch

recently received new stock photos for the Terrible Pink T-Shirts i sell on etsy, and i find them so funny for some reason...

look at the smiling attractive people wearing their (also smiling!) attractive fashion wear!

tbh i have never had an issue with being overcharged in the time ive used them over a year. if there have been additional charges or cost increases i've been notified every time. i'm not saying "everyone else is lying obviously" but i simply don't thoroughly research things i haven't had any trouble with. i found scentbird not through youtube ads and have found it a useful and convenient service but i will keep it in mind if i have any troubles actually canceling

as for the fake deals to pressure people i think that is just such a standard of late stage capitalism i cannot pin it on one type of company. it is a shitty, scummy tactic. i don't think anyone should be using it. ive kind of gotten immune to the "50% off your first order if you sign up right now!!!!" thing and know its mostly bullshit and it is not unique to "products and services advertised by youtubers and podcasters".

they have a fair enough selection. this isn't for perfume snobs. if you want to try niche and interesting perfume scentbird REALLY isn't for you and there are other options like smaller websites offering very small samples for sometimes a few dollars or less, sample trading groups, decanters, etc etc. it's mainly a service for people who wanna try lots of dif perfume over time and don't really fully know their preferences or hate commitment. i personally hate commitment tho i'm prob gonna stop soon because i simply. have enough perfume i don't need it mailed to me every month. by now i have a grasp on what companies i like, what recommendations i'll listen to, what notes i find appealing, and i do wanna try more niche stuff as all the mainstream popular perfumes are starting to smell the same.

also damn. i didn't know the ceo was like. batshit. unfortunately increasingly common though for bigoted wackjobs running companies. again i'm prob gonna stop now bc i don't. need a bunch more perfume samples of that size i wear way less perfume than the average person bc my nose is so sensitive that one of their 'samples' could last me nearly a fucking year. but honestly if i wanted to avoid every company with a crazy bigoted ceo i wouldn't be able to buy. much of anything.

compared to other companies i've found it timely, easy to deal with, and with a lot of options. stuff like hello fresh and other meal service kits are subpar quality for the price with less choice and it became a hassle to cook their shit. other stuff likewise has been overpriced garbage like magic spoon (my wife bought that one), audible is unnecessary and amazon is even more unethical, etc etc.

tl;dr: for stuff i can say was "alright" scentbird has been up there. not "i would totally recommend this to everyone i know i love them more than anything" more like "wow youtubers are actually recommending what is a legitimate service so far. thats a first." maybe they will be shit when i'm trying to cancel and i'll have to get my bank on their asses. maybe i've just been insanely lucky. sucks their ceo is fucking weird tho i'll be quitting anyways though bc again. too much perfume.

at this point youtuber sponsored products are literally anti-ads. you see a youtuber hawking a product, doesn't matter how much integrity that youtuber has, the product is garbage. good products just straight up do not bother with youtube partnerships
