“'this is a disc launcher — oh wow I want to see if I can hit the camera'”

Hidden Advertising & Sponsored ContentA little

The video naturally promotes CrunchLabs subscription boxes ('instead of ordering one on our website like everybody else'), but this is transparently the creator's own product being showcased on their own channel, not a hidden or undisclosed sponsorship.

Toxic Behavior ModelingNot present
