Once I read a few paragraphs of a book a woman was reading next to me on the T in Boston. When she got off I saw the distinctive cover but not the title or author.

Disappointing to see yet another BH sponsor on this one, with all the information coming out about how horrible they are and how they sell customer information- they literally worsen customer health. Not sure how you can continue to sell their services on your platform. If there is a contract, how long could it be? It has been months. I really wish you would reconsider this- someone struggling could take your recommendation and end up worse than before. Being an influencer comes with responsibilities- you're not responsible for anyone's mental health, but I can't imagine knowing all the public information about this company and still plugging them on your channel for potential vulnerable people to follow. This isn't just a gimmick water bottle or a mediocre online course you're selling- you're dealing with high stakes here. Selling therapy should never have been normalized. Even if you don't care about the ethics at all, I can't imagine that this is doing any good for your reputability or your public persona. I love your content but the BH sponsorships seriously make me question if you are someone I want to continue supporting.

How is this the first comment about BH I see? I am appalled that influencers do not do their due dilligence before saying yes to sponsors like this anyway, and now I read that it's not the first time Jack worked with them and he still goes on doing ads for them. I might not have been a subscriber for that long yet, but I guess here's another channel I have to unsub from. There are sponsors that will just be never okay, and BH is one of them - and a one time sponsorship without doing a check on what he sponsors is bad enough, but for MONTHS???? Ugh
@hrldn170
@hrldn170 10 күн бұрын
@@JantineSchimmel Yes, unfortunately they're a long time sponsor of his channel. I've been watching him for more than a year and they've been a consistent sponsor. When all the info about BH was first going viral there used to be more comments about it on his vids but to my knowledge he never acknowledged them, and people figured there's some contract he had to finish fulfilling for them. Then they stopped coming up on his vids for a while so I thought maybe he was done but this video popping up makes me doubt that he is being forced to do this under contract obligation. How long could this "contract" be, not to mention nobody knows if it even exists in the first place- it's all just benefit of the doubt that I am more and more reluctant to give him. I'm just appalled because I feel like the info about them is worth breaking contract for. I can't imagine selling their services the way he does in these vids. And the comments about BH have dwindled as well, which is disappointing. More people need to let him know this is not behavior they condone.

I'm a Catalan living in Switzerland and I've just spent a few days back home and read Permafrost. It is really really good. Can't wait to hear more about what you think about it. I just started Boulder now. It's funny that I only heard from this series because of you, because back in Catalunya Eva Baltasar is EVERYWHERE.

Will be very interested in hearing your thoughts on Permafrost, and specifically Baltasar's racism. I read it in Catalan, and the only character of colour in the novel, a Chinese guy with two lines of dialogue, is written with all his Rs as Ls. I wonder if the English translation includes that too. Considering none of the foreign characters have a (written) accent in the book, that seemed like a bizarre choice, which my SEA partner found even more offensive than I did. Honestly never picked up another book by her. I'd recommend Irene Solà, or even better, a classic of Catalan literature, Broken Mirror by Merce Rodoreda.

I love your videos, I've been watching them for a long time, so I only ask this with absolute love--Is there a reason you don't use a microphone when you're doing chats in your library? I think some of your videos feature a mic and some don't. I think it makes a big difference!

Greta and Valdin is one of my favourite books, so cool to see the UK release happening now (the cover is so much more gorgeous than the New Zealand one and I'm jealous)!!! I hope you love it too ❤️

I prefer the New Zealand cover. & tbh, I thought the book lacked structure. Be interested to see what Jack makes of it.
