"Sadly the YouTuber should have placed the information first but I see them more as a victims."

Please. Youtubers have only to put "sponsored stream" in the title to remove all doubt and be honest about it. It is a common practice, and many fans are not bothered when it happens, or think less of the youtuber since it is understood their need to monetize.

If they purposely accepted a contract that told them to hide the fact that they were being sponsored, they are as reprehensible as WB.
