In almost every case sponsorship of a podcast in the bitcoin space is indication of a poor quality product that is losing market share. Maybe a few bad eggs stink up the entire lot, but its becoming a pattern. The problem with B2C direct advertising is its rarely done to inform, but to brainwash. When a "creator" takes on a sponsor, 98% of the time, they are selling the social capital they built with their audience to the purpose of brainwashing through subconcious manipulation to the benefit of a third party of ambiguous character. As a business trying to navigate this "sales and marketing" space, its looking a whole lot more like S&M than lead generation and business development (yea I knowz loaded terms) and I have yet to be convinced its effective if not immoral at its foundation.
