Topic: What do you think about youtube/twitch marketing? Is it ethical? (Read 448 times)

there is no longer anything ethical in the market,advertising today follows only the ways of earning

It seems to me that today any advertising using videos will be really successful. Today, a beautiful and bright picture is important for clients. This will help make your product or service truly remembered. I own a small cafe. I also did not miss the opportunity to create an animated video about my cafe. I used it in Facebook ads and it was a success! So i cooperate with the best company which deal with animated video production Galera Agency . I think it is good desicion

There seems to be some backing against casino with Twitch and they really are becoming strict.

But anyway, even if they track down these streamers, there will still be a way for them to stream in other platforms.

In my country and neighbor countries (Eastern Europe) this is ethical. "Everyone makes money as they can" . So you can't complain and tell someone that he is "unethical". People will not understand it. And one addition: In Eastern Europe, to be sponsored by gambling site is one of the least "unethical" things to complain for. Here a lot of people doing much more terrifying things and people around don't consider it as "unethical" 

That's right. Money can tempt every person to do what the money wants and even if that job is related to something illegal. I think Youtube will only act if they got a report from their viewer and Youtube will check it if those Youtuber breaks their rule or not. If yes, Youtube will block their account and will not allow them to upload a video anymore.

I know people who gamble hard in traditional casinos on/offline and have never seen a video of YT/Twitch.

It is a myth that casinos live on high rollers, a casino essentially lives on fish, so a ViP player is in that category because the casino needs to have that image in which regular players are reflected.

Promote casinos in any way  is already in itself; How is this ethical?
The way it is shown or done is indifferent.

We live in times of existential information crisis, the "rule,"  permissibility,  the ethical is subjective and it seems that everyone  want it see from your own point of view.

Nowadays, what is not ethical for you, if it is for a great majority: as an American judge said, moral rules change socially, it is something irremediable and uncontrollable, so if the Law, although unfair, retrograde allows it then leave it to your common sense or your degree of ethical permeability.

As being said, it's marketing. Those companies that are hiring these streamers are only giving scripts to these people that they hire so obviously, they're only following what's on the script and that is to make them look the best in the eyes of their viewers. It's always the catch needed for these companies to attract new customers coming in. Its advertising is making people easy looking at their product as what these streamers show to them.

A lot of these Streamers are affiliates of the casinos that they represent, so these casinos are funding their bankroll. It is also rumoured that these paid Streamers are using a "lucky" Seed provided by the casinos and that they are receiving a special RTP to increase their winnings. (There is no proof to back up these rumors, but that is the big debate that is doing the rounds)

Eddie from Stake.com was banned several times for advertising on Twitch and he had to continue his regular Saturday streaming on another platform. (DLive) where the rules are more forgiving.    (So these popular platforms are clamping down on advertising linked to gambling)  

 

Gambling can be ethical and non ethical if the will to gamble or promote gambling site is of good will. If gambling starts involving fraudulent acts then it will start to become unethical cause the aim of gambling will have changed it direction. Promotion of gambling platforms is ethical but if it is done in a fraudulent manner then we call say that it's unethical.

No. Just in a healthy society, everyone should understand that for an objective understanding, you should not rely on someone else's opinion or advertising, but study the issue from different angles and then make a decision. And the consequences of this decision will be entirely on you. If you want to get into the ideal world where everyone is telling the truth, then most likely you will be upset because there is no such world yet. If you want someone (like the state) to determine what people are allowed to speak or advertise, then most likely you will fall into totalitarianism.

Yes, that is because money smells good so that makes the influencers want to accept the job and spread the word about the site. Whether the influencer is getting paid from the casino or not, we are not sure about that and do not have to think much about that. Yes, the simple answer will be back to ourselves, whether it is ethical or unethical. We can say that unethical, but how about them?

If we think this way, we are going to blame the victims instead of the guilty in different situations, with the excuse the victim wasn't smart enough to avoid being deceived by the malicious person. Of course high levels of awareness and distrust are needed to stay safe in a dirty world like this one, but I believe we shouldn't banalize these situations and accept them as normal.

The correct in a healthy society would be to trust what people say, especially if they are advertising something, without the fear we are being cheated by them. And I believe that should be the aim of a good marketing campaign. Lies may work and be profitable on short run, but only truth can build solid bases and thrive on long run.

They are playing with the real money but the money is completely sponsored by the platform they are promoting it means the user is not going to lose any money from his pocket while get a hige chunk as their salary for such promotion but this isn't have any ethical issues because they are just promoting which is why they are getting paid for it meanwhile they can get more respect if they reveal it to their followers.

Well, that is not practical dude, those community investors who get attracted using twitch or youtube are the one who have a lot of money only, but the people who are in the average only like me can't able to get involve to that trick. Meaning, small amount of money in the bankroll the chances of winning is very low or minimal.

Business is business, these people who are influencers are working to make money, they are paid by a gambling site or sites to promote them, so there's nothing wrong with that. If we talk about whether it's ethical or not, then a simple question would answer that, and that is, is gambling ethical?

It must be admitted that inaccurate advertising is allowed not only for casinos, almost all advertising around speaks only of the pros, but hides the minuses, this can hardly be considered an objective presentation of information.
As for the issue under discussion, I think that age restrictions are observed there - YouTube has a rather tough policy and it is unlikely that someone will risk banning the channel for a one-time profit.

I would argue that you are a bit wrong here to say the least. We have some very dangerous tendencies in society not because people are less intelligent today, but because it is easier to be influenced by things that sent you off your own path, the path you would take by making your own decisions without being overwhelmed from the outside.
Diabetes isn't rising because people are less intelligent. Same for porn addiction, it is just the availability. People socialize less today because of social networks and the digital space growing, and many of those things happening these days aren't healthy.
And where is the line when you would say someone is capable or not? Also, it is scientifically proven that there are people who are genetically more receptive for addictions than others, so are they less intelligent?
I am not speaking against advertising stuff, but luring people into buying something with dubious techniques is questionable. One was mentioned before and that is when someone gets paid to play online casino games where something might be rigged. You see, it could even be rigged without the streamer knowing about it I can imagine. Like they get paid $10,000 to play on a website, and what a lucky they have out of a sudden, they keep winning and winning because there is a wonderful software running in the background and they don't even know about it.
I think as soon as advertisements strongly tend to portray false chances or promises, that is a red line.

This is what I'm trying to say, for them it's ethical since it's part of the marketing strategy as long as they don't feel any shame on it. But of course, if they were actors and so used to it then they already master it while for some people they think that they were genuinely playing with their own money but most of the time they don't, they have someone who's ready to dump some money in order to gain something back.

Just like how these online games these days streamers are gaining free stuffs from the game because their content is all about the game and of course you should be good with it. And for gambling I don't think they will ever going to reveal their strategy in front of the people so expect that they were doing something in order to gain some people's trust but in reality they were just actors.

I guess these guys would do anything to grow their user base because the competition is quite high as we have a very huge number of gambling companies in this ecosystem all competing to win customers on to their platforms.

In terms of being ethical, well If there are disclaimers and consent to get these users to do these marketing gigs for them...I honestly don't see anything wrong to be honest. It's not like it's a free service,  there is some form of reward for it so I guess it's just business.

Many content creators are only in for the money not after effects of the information no they had pass to the public. It's not unethical because it's one of the strategies that are used in the market industries to attract be customers. A marketer which could be an advertiser can indicator the some traits to really be point at who or what the advert is being made for.
