As Juice Media grows I'm being asked by marketing groups to put ads on our pages, videos & podcast... every. single. day. One offered $2k if we posted 2 ads per day on FB. Another wanted me to promote a video game in our videos for $5k. And my answer to *all* of them is: ...

Coz if we become dependent on sponsorships, there will naturally be a perception our content is influenced by somebody else, and you'd be right to be suspicious: is Juice not talking about X bc they might lose ad revenue? Did they say that about Z bc someone paid them to? ...

Which is why you won't ever see me promoting a product in our videos or podcast. The loss of income does not come even CLOSE to the value of integrity. It's not even a loss, really coz one of the reasons our audience supports us is that they genuinely value our independence...

Even if you disagree with what I say - which is fine - at least you know it's *my* position, not that of some marketing company and their million dollar clients...

Anyway I just wanted to share that with you all. Thanks to all our Patrons, and those who send us one-off donations, for keeping us independent and allowing me to do this work without needing to even consider sucking the corporate cock

Have a great week. https://www.patreon.com/TheJuiceMedia
