Thank you! And thanks for watching V2 ;)

@@SortedFood Thanks. Multi-level marketing is such an abusive business practice, I'm glad you don't put up with it!

@@SortedFood I missed the original, and so I won't know what was taken. Which company failed the standards, so I can avoid them in my own ordering practices? I am more curious than anything, as of this message.

Can I ask what happened to the first one? Like what problem were there?

While i understand that the channel itself cant name names probably due to legal reasons, can anyone in the comments section clarify? Its in good interest of the public to know what exactly to avoid

Wait what happened?

@@haves_ The first product they tried was from an MLM company and people started bringing it out and were angry about it so they listened to the comments, took the video down and reuploaded without that product.

@@haves_ the old video featured an essential oil. i don't exactly know why it's bad but a company that sells essential oils for over 40 Pounds is probably rather dodgy. Edit: It's also an MLM which is not great. Check answers under the second comment

What was the original controversy about?

@@ludere222 also essential oils aren't supposed to be eaten afaik, they can even give you chemical burns

Exactly. He's absolutely brilliant at describing it.

He's color blind so I think that plays a part whereby he focuses more on the taste instead of the visuals.

He does do whiskey tasting, he's had a lot of practice with things like this.

Right? It's good to know that if enough people bully them to change they will.

@@BaronFeydRautha well, what you’ve described is basically our society in a nutshell👏🏼😂 BUT they could’ve simply taken the video down or disabled the comment section, like others would have but admitting to have made a mistake takes sth too 😉

@@kerrin384 it wasn't a mistake. They were bullied into editing the video because of a comment mob. I unsubscribed. Was a good run.

I had the fun experience of the video suddenly becoming unavailable halfway through watching. Took me a while to figure out it wasn't my internet going down!

Same here. I am totally rewatching it again. They deserve to get the view, especially for how quickly and responsibly they responded.

You ma’am are a gentlewoman and a scholar. Hazar!

I'm rewatching it too but sped up x2 - at least it gets funnier that way the second time 😁

I'm in Australia so only just woke up, can someone briefly mention what happened?

What happened?!!

Admit fault, fix the problem, then move on with transparency and decorum. Textbook. They did an excellent job.

@@TiaBeTrippin one of the products in the original vid was detorra essential oil. Doterra is an mlm who have gotten into a lot of legal hot water for doing things like claiming adding their products to food can cure autism when, in fact, their products aren't even edible and they cure nothing and may even harm you. Google doterra and you'll find a rabbit hole of legal issues, underhanded dealings. They aren't even allowed to operate in many countries because they are so bad.

@@Stettafire That's horrible why are they even still a thing if they have so many issues!! 🤦‍♂️

@@TiaBeTrippin "That's horrible why are they even still a thing if they have so many issues". The short answer: Money. The long answer: Mooooonnnneeeeyyyyyyy. In all seriousness though (not sure if you're American or from the UK, so I'll answer as if you weren't from America so it makes more sense) is that unlike most modern countries, America has almost NO consumer protection laws, and most of our Regulatory agencies as rendered toothless by decades of Regulatory Capture and Corporate Lobbying. We have VERY little in the way of Campaign Finance laws and almost no rules about who can write the law briefs for our Congress and Senate. As a result, ALEC and money talks, almost exclusively and wholly to the detriment of the citizens. For a company to be shut down in "modern" America, you have to practically slit the throats of babies, puppies, AND kittens, simultaneously, in front of no less than10,000 kindergarteners. And even then, that will only earn you the chance of having your company investigated. But fear not! For a very paltry sum, you can pay a "fine" and it will all be forgiven though, so... I wish I was kidding, but while I'm being hyperbolic and colorful with my presentation of the facts, they are still facts. Take Herbalife for instance. It is another MLM/Pyramid Scheme. The founder had ZERO medical or nutritional training or education. He basically sold Meth in a bottle, plenty of people died and millions have been scammed out of BILLIONS of dollars. It took YEARS of fighting to even get to the point of having a congressional hearing on his and Herbalife's malfeasance. Even in the congressional hearing, he was cavalier and mocked the politicians claiming they were only questioning him because they were fat and told them they should use his products instead of trying him in court. In the end, even with all the evidence and his assholery, he walked out with a slap on the wrist and a weaksauce "fine". Herbalife is still around scamming and killing people today - 30 YEARS LATER. Hell, let me scare you a little more - Amway, one of the biggest scam/Pyramid Schemes is ENTRENCHED in American politics. How? Two of the heirs of the scam company are Republican Mega Donors; Former Secretary of Education (who believed there shouldn't be any schools and believed poor people shouldn't be allowed to go to school) Betsy Devos and her brother, the owner of Blackwater (or whatever their name is this week) MERCENARIES founder/CEO Erik Prince. Yep, one of the heirs owns a fucking mercenary company that has done A LOT of work for America and other dictatorships like Saudi Arabia, so they can use plausible deniability when violating the Geneva Conventions and International Laws. Erik Prince, the heir, is an actual war criminal. Those are the heirs to Amway, they and Amway are enmeshed with the politically powerful in America and many other countries. That is how companies like DoTerra, Herbalife, Amway, LuLaRoe, etc get away with so much. Power and money.

what happened in the original version?

I also think shifting away from vegan = lifestyle. There's still an impression that the only choice is full vegan or nothing, when people could still help by just subbing out a couple of products, or just doing it now and again.

We should steer towards china = 50% of CO2, 80% of plastic, 100% of sealife in developing countries, 95% of diseases lifestyle

That's kind of dumb, lots of junk food is vegan.

@@bcaye shhhh don't insult the newest forced trend that will inevitably screw everyone over

Hey, I'm offended too! I've lovingly been looking after my kefir grains these three years or so. And I love to experiment with it making kefir cheese, using it to leaven bread and changing some to water kefir to make fizzy cider from apple juice. I love the taste of plain kefir - it's not that sour if you don't leave it too long. But I'll forgive you anything because I love your show.

@@Acadia26 Wouldn't you use non-alcoholic cider for fizzy cider, and apple juice for fizzy apple juice. Maybe cider is different in Canada, we have pressed apple cider which isn't alcoholic and we have alcoholic ciders, also just called cider.

@@DAndyLord I'm from the USA cider applies to both the alcoholic and non alcoholic variations. I also I agree on the juice point

@@tru35kill the first product they reviewed was some plant extract thats claims where supposedly snake oil

@@PreciseShoryuken Also it was a product from a MLM (multi level marketing) basically a pyramid scheme.

What was it about ??

@@rosshansenn One of the products they featured in the video before this edit was made by a horrid pyramid scheme company selling essential oils who made wildly unsubstantiated claims about its effects, like that it can purify smoke, or cure COVID or curing Ebola, autism, and cancer.

@@dearestgecko8004 haha. If you only saw the ridiculous stuff my new phone puts in when I type. I keep waiting for that "intuitive learning" to kick in.

I'm curious, what was the issue?

@@sarahwatts7152 from what I read so far. Essentially it was a essentially oil they tried that came from a MLM company thats said some dodgy stuff including covid vaccine conspiracies.

@@MrZane777 Not really any conspiracies, they've just previously claimed their oils could help cure cancer, ebola, covid and other diseases.

@@sarahwatts7152One of the products was an essential oil from a decently well known pyramid sceme company that does all the usual pyramid scheme things and makes all the usual claims about how essential oils will fix all your problems (while very carefully never using words like "cure" so that when they get called out they can say that they never actually made medical claims). The guys were careful to say that they weren't going to add to the the claims of wellness etc that aren't scientifically proven and were just looking at it as a food additive. About 90% of the comment on the first video were (mostly pretty politely IMO, credit to this community for not being overly shouty about this) informing them about the company. It was an easy mistake for them to make if all they were doing was looking at the company website for information since it goes out of its way to hide the fact that it's a MLM pyramid scheme.

@@Codan3 bad word choice on mt part

What was the company that didn't meet standards?

@@Yibz Right I looked it up, apparently it was a essential oils company called Doterra, they're somewhat known to be a MLM.

@@Yibz yeah, as Politically Uninformed said, it was a MLM company which got called out for their awful practices, and which Sorted made the unfortunate mistake of supporting their product without looking into their background properly. Honestly an easy mistake to do. The most successful MLM companies often have very good products after all. It's how they manage to trick their costumers into becoming dealers after all

im out of the loop here. I'm not defending them i jus thonestly dont know, whats so bad about doterra? i genuinely dont know and havent heard of them before.

@@KEN117MC MLM stand for multi level marketing company. It is easier to google whats bad about it but essentially the top of the company earns alot. The bottom of the company have to make more people sign up and have them sign up more for the first person to even earn anything (which will not be alot).

A youtuber iilluminaughtii did a video about them that can tell you how bad they are. She does videos about all kinds of mlms it pretty messed up.

@@ladedadeda3x someone has mentioned it elsewhere. I don't want to point it out directly as that would negate the point of the edit.
