Better Help is a scam
@@BichaelStevensEveryone already know that. How about YOU be the sponsor then? Now THAT'S some real action, instead of just doing keyboard warrior stuff. Now be quiet. These videos aren't gonna sponsor themselves.
@@gurugurumawaru7869 literally dozens of companies out there and he picks BetterHelp. Even Raid would be a better sponsor.
how about *YOU* stop supporting the GENOCIDE and ABUSE of MILLIONS of VULNERABLE PEOPLE WORLDWIDE.
@@gurugurumawaru7869 Comment got deleted. Ahem. DOZENS OF COMPANIES, PICK ANYONE BUT BETTERHELP. STOP SUPPORTING ABUSE OF VULNERABLE PEOPLE.
Reject BetterHelp
Embrace ButterHelp
You should be knighted for this comment!
I see what you did there!
If you are depressed, just add more butter.
I just thought this butter seems like it would solve most of my problems😂
Unsubscribing and turning on Addblockers for this channel until he gets a sponsor that doesn't scam people.
Friends don't let friends be sponsored by betterhelp
It is shocking how many people still think better help is a legitimate health care company
Butterhelp is the sponsor today... ;)
Pure evil.
@@argumentfoireux1660🙂
Notice how all you babies whining about betterhelp have never used betterhelp... It's pathetic virtue signalling you're all doing. The large majority of people are happy with BH and all you whiny babies focus on is a few outline cases where they have made mistakes. Coca Cola destroys more lives than anything better help has ever done, yet I have a sneaking suspicion you couldn't care less if it was them sponsoring him. Grow up.
Better Help is a scam. You should find a better, more appropriate sponsor.
Howso?
@@joshpointoh Absolutely. They've been mired in controversy surrounding their collection of data and the dubious qualifications of the therapists
@@joshpointoh Better Help was convicted for selling patients personal data.
I guess he should find better help lol
@@joshpointoh Selling user data, relying on uncredentialed, underpaid providers that are expected to be available 24/7 and are extremely unprofessional. There are plenty of videos here on CZcams calling them out. Search them out.
Better help pushes people share private health information than gives it advertisers. The FTC is trying to award 8 million to customers of better help because the company lied about keeping information safe.
What is wrong with that? You get more personal recommendations..
@@arunashamal Only at the low low cost of letting corporations monetize your insecurities and generate profit from your vulnerabilities! Truly, nothing wrong with that.
@@AnakinSkyobiliviator nothing wrong with that
@@arunashamal What is wrong is clearly that the company lied to consumers while handling their private data, which is against the law.
@@arunashamal Oh yes, let your insurance know all your private details. You're going to get better rates for sure! "Advertisers" is the name for every creepy data colector that also wants to profile you and sell your personal info for pennies.
Seriously, Betterhelp again? :(
Butter help
Yea, unless you're gonna pay for these clearly expensive-to-produce videos that you're not paying a dime for. Alex needs all the sponsors he can get.
How about you do some real action and help fund these videos, instead of just complaining?
@@gurugurumawaru7869you do realize he still gets money from monetization on videos just for putting his video on youtube 😐 and technically we are paying a dime actually more with the videos we watch and us being subscribed in general
@@ShOxCooking That's cute. If only you knew the ACTUAL income you get from adsense. No, being a youtuber DOESN'T pay well. You'll do more help as his patreon supporter, than as a keyboard warrior.
@@gurugurumawaru7869 says the keyboard warrior, he wouldn’t be doing youtube if he wasn’t making a lot of money seems like your the one that doesn’t know
I really don't understand how channels with millions of subscribers still accept betterhelp as sponsor. I mean, any court would dismiss any contractual obligation since betterhelp committed crimes and presented themselves as predators, even worse as we're talking about people actively seeking help - part of the very definition of vulnerable. That's beyond "money is money" and I'd prefer to believe some YT channels would have higher (if any) standards.
I hope they figure it out before the backlash of the news splash to them.
How about YOU sponsor it, then? Producing these kinds of high-quality videos doesn't come cheap, and aren't gonna pay for itself.
TBH these videos might have been done way before the better help issues started to come out
@@LegendoftheGalacticHerothey came out in 2018 pretty sure these videos aren’t that old
@@gurugurumawaru7869 Well, so by your logic, it would be ok for a channel to be sponsored by a terrorist organizations or a genocidal dictatorial state. They need the money as production isn't cheap, right? A mansion is also not cheap, so it's ok to be a drug dealer or a hired gun if you want to have a mansion. As I mentioned "money is money" isn't enough.
And by the way, I used to be a sponsor of the channel while I was subscribed here. I didn't know I'd have to explain this, but let me break it to you: what Alex is selling when signing sponsorship is brand exposure to the viewers. In a way, without views and subscribers, Alex wouldn't have sponsors. This is, at least, an indirect sponsorship. Giving my time and my view so youtubers can be paid with proceeds of unethical activity.
The big issue with sponsorships on youtube is that ad revenue has gone down with the years and as youtube channels become more business-like, ie hiring editors, camera workers, writers, producers etc. the demand for stable income increases. And the kicker is really that you can't reject every sponsor when it ultimately is only going to hurt your family, your employees. There's a fine line here, where the creators are risking a lot in order to keep their job in the semi-stable state it is in. The best thing you can do is hope Alex (and any other creator) is able to find better sponsors, which are few and far between. Maybe try to write to the FTC or whatever agency would be most appropriate for handling someone like BetterHelp's shady practices.
Next sponsor should be "Butter Help", supplying artisanal butter to the disadvantaged, depressed, and those with dry bread.
Truly a cause to get behind, who isn't depressed by dry bread?
Please don't be sponsored by better help. They are scam company selling Peoples personal information to highest bidder. Please never do this. I love your videos, and please keep doing your good work, and say no to better help please
I fully agree, but there's a flipside to that coin: every major tech company sells their users' information too (this includes Meta and Google). So by that token he'd have to stop uploading to CZcams as well.
@@aspiringtosomething2023 youtube doesn't sell private medical records. betterhelp does
@@aspiringtosomething2023 It is illegal to sell medical data. It is much worse to do so. They were even fined!
@@aspiringtosomething2023 - That's true, but giving someone a 'confidential' psych intake form to fill out, and then selling that information, seems far more egregious.
Thumbs down for Betterhelp sponsorship.
But your comment gets thumbs up
whats the problem with betterhelp? seems like a good service
Imagine thinking you are so special that you have a right to dictate how other people make a living... lol!
@@arunashamal Yes we do. It's called democracy where the whole foundation of our political system rests on the concept of the collective good and collective freedom, not individual good/freedom. And no, this does not mean we are special. In fact, it means we are all equal fundamentally. You benefit from the myriad of legal protections against exploitation, abuse of power, fraud, violence, discrimination, etc. etc. So unless you are willing to give that all up and live in an autocratic state, keep your ignorant comment to yourself and read a book or two on rights and democracy.
@@SE013 no you don't, and that is not remotely even what democracy is.. lol.. get an education before spouting nonsense!
Should have been sponsered by ButterHelp.
Please stop the better help sponsor
95% butter

This is the last video I watch sponsored by betterhelp
Same
1 video with BetterHelp = 1 Dislike
The 46k+ views and 3k+ likes said we don’t care of your incessant ramblings. Help buy his merch, become a patron, or be quiet and watch the video.
@@gurugurumawaru7869 What are you, BetterHelp's PR department?? Love making money from vulnerable people???
@@gurugurumawaru7869 You don't seem to understand that when you run a channel with a large audience, you're responsible for what you recommend to them. Many channels completely freeze their work with a sponsor if the sponsor is involved in a controversy. That's the right thing to do. It's called ethics. If a channel with 2 mil subscribers couldn't survive without a single sponsor, something is wrong with the channel.
@@BichaelStevens Nope, I’m a longtime fan of Alex’s channel. Unlike you tourists.
@@eldronado I vehemently disagree, this ain’t politics. This channel is just an entertainment channel and any source of funding is valuable. Also, no. Sponsorship is just that, advertisements. Nothing more, nothing less. Any responsible adult is responsible to do their own due diligence. What’s unethical, is you woke people causing incessant ruckus and forcing your political agendas onto other people.
We all know how dubious betterhelp is. If you don’t like it, then just ignore their ubiquitous ads and don’t subscribe to their service. It’s that simple. Also, you don’t seem to know how expensive it is to produce even one quality video for a documentary channel.
wow, better help issue is soo bad not in top comment i see it just people saying, "please stop getting sponsor from better help as it would damage your reputation and trust"
Betterhelp AGAIN!? Wtf Alex hás to be desperate to accept sponsorships from them.
Probably locked into a contract with them from before he became aware of their issues. I feel bad for Alex. I would prefer if the comments could inform people of the issues with BetterHelp witout making it into an attack on his character. I can't see why he shouldn't be afforded the benefit of the doubt.
Betterhelp is everywhere. Be quiet or pay for his videos.
when a sponsor shows up in pretty much every other youtube video it doesnt mean those youtubers are desperate, it simply means one thing, those sponsors pay really well
You need to shut up and get help yourself my dude@@gurugurumawaru7869
@@gurugurumawaru7869 I'll just unsubscribe. His videos got less and less interesting and educational over time anyway, this one being a prime example. A tour of a company that seasons and shapes butter... Really?
Kinda weird to call butter the "raw material" when you're making butter, ngl.
It's a bit unfortunate that he didn't show a before and after. The kneading and oxidizing of the raw butter is what makes their butter a "product". Especially the salting and consequent pushing out of water through kneading makes for a complete different experience from your store bought raw butter. There are other documentaries about Bordier on CZcams that explain the actual added value much better. Came a little short here.
Yeah exactly, I guess quality control, kneading, flavouring, shaping and branding are the value-add here, but you wouldn't know it from this video.
i think it's because the original shop translates to "the butter mason" (could be wrong on that) and they're simply continuing with that motif
@@jojivlogs_4255It translates to "The house of butter"
@@Pece0 interesting, maybe the etymology of the word "house" in french has relation to masonry
Im not wqtching this video because of the better help sponsorship. Please do more and better research into your sponsors.
Same here.
I also like Alex's video but am on the verge of unsubscribing because of his lack of ethics.
No one cares. Go watch anime
@@ElectricHorseman66 Your running videos are hilarious 😆🤡
@@andrewfarrell6120 Go on, we don’t need you here if that’s all it takes.
Stop advertising better help. Find better sponsors, stop scamming your community.
probably shouldnt be working with better help, my dude
Butter factory tour.
This is the satring ingredient: Butter.
Well that was quick.
*Starting ...haha nice sense of humor
Yeah, they don't make butter.
Please just do a bit of research and stop advertising Better help.
It took me a minute to quit laughing after seeing the "worth smuggling past the TSA" statement. If I could afford it, I would try this company just because of the humor.
You don't have to "smuggle" it, it's legal. I had some Bordier butter in my carryon bag and set it down on the floor waiting for the checked bags at Dulles and the TSA beagle came over and sat on the bag. I had to take it out and show it to the TSA guy. It's legal, but he wanted to make sure that we didn't have anything else. And it's really good, DEFINITELY worth the trouble and $$$.
I keep my daily use butter in a pot a beurre/beurrier à l'eau; a butter crock or butter bell. Keeps it away from exposure to light & air without refrigeration so its always spreadable. You just have to remember to change the water in the air moat every few days & you're all good. In the summer heat I make sure I store the bell in the pantry (spence) which is designed to be cool even in summer.
The kneading segment has to be one of my favourite segments you have ever done Alex! What a nice and friendly environment again!
ye, must feel and smell amazing 😀
Still curious what the kneading actually does tho. Just to give it air? Mix the salt in?
They don't make butter, they just season and aerate it. I guess the quality of the butter is more determined by the the cows milk.
They actually also make the butter, which unfortunately isn't shown in this video. The butter is made in other facilities
They said their butter comes from 20 different suppliers@@O2CP
exactly my point
My girlfriend was in Paris this week for work and I asked her to bring back a couple blocks on Bordier butter, salted and vanilla! I tried it before, and it's absolutely fantastic, every time she's in Paris I ask her to bring some back.
Passionate artisans are always such interesting, cool people. Love this behind the scenes action.
That was quite a tender moment with the butter guy doing the "Ghost" scene. 😂
I love a good butter and this company making it into an artform is just wonderful to see!
Thanks for this.
Finding butter that was a flavour, rather than just a moisture insulator, was a game changer.
WOW what a video! And they were just a dream, you couldn't ask for more welcoming friendly and warm people to learn from. They were very good to you(and us) to be so open and explain the ins and outs to you. Such a fantastic treat when two people from different areas collide and create something like this. brilliant
I love these field trips out to artisan producers, big factories and everything in between. you showcase their passion and commitment to excellence. Thank you!
We saw a documentary on Bordier about 6 years ago and they are still using the same processes now as then. Merci, Alex!
I've really been loving the recent ingredient/dish deep dives you've been doing - top work all around
Alex, I would love to see you do a series on boudin noir/blood sausage. I think more people could appreciate this delicate dish, the history of it and the challenge of hitting the right balance. Similar to your meatball series. Grazie ✌🏻
I had no idea butter could be this diverse! I'm truly enlightened.
Butter is an op ingredient to make dishes taste good.
I love this episode. Thank you for hosting Alex.
The respect they give you and the passion you both have for butter is so uplifting. I wish everyone was this way ❤ more concerned about the craft and doing excellent than getting wealthy or powerful.
It's incredible how much the man training you at the factory knows about butter.. A true master of his craft
BRILLIANT! thank you for the inside look Alex!
Okay, that was REALLY COOL!
And I just got back to making my own butter 2 weeks ago, for the first time since I was a small person.
I love it when you see a product that you think of as a simple, basic product and you see someone with such a speciality of knowledge of that product that they can elevate it in your mind just by talking about it.
That company is super impressive, and it was really nice of them to set you up with that kit.
The end was saying everything, no words can describe perfection. These people are on a mission. How absolutely beautiful was that. What a truly great, heartfelt video. I feel that it somehow helped a lot that French was my native language though, but it was truly great nonetheless. Merci Alex.
Love these factory tours. The machines are fascinating and the craftsmanship and passion are great to see.
This was a super interesting show. Really enjoyed it, not that I don't enjoy most thing you put out there but this one was especially fascinating. Watching it makes me want to research into the local butters where I live and see if anyone is creating something with as much care as they do.
Cheers!
Video's like these make me want to do tours as well. It's interesting to see inside the factory and the process of making the final product. Great video!
MERCH SUGGESTION: Please put the “a perfect bowl of ramen” design on a shirt. It looks so cool
This is like my dream tour. We get a hand rolled Amish butter where I live because it is so much better than the others. Sometimes you can see the fingerprints still in the butter, but that hand rolling makes such a difference. It's so smooth and creamy, it's a bit saltier, the texture is just incredible.
Alex has told me a sacred rule in cooking: Everything is better with butter! Thanks alex❤❤❤❤
Extra virgin olive oil disagrees 😂
Such a nice and passionate work environment right there. What a nice people! 🙌🏻
I like how Vincent kept his hat on under his hairnet. Kinda adorable. And wow, that butter looks good!
more of this frenchy stuff please. so interesting. thank you alex!!!
Whoa, it was amazing that they let you try all the manual actions. The employees seemed very kind and welcoming - I feel it would be a nice place to work :)
French butter is the best, no question about it! Can't wait to try this one as well! Thanks Alex ;)
BetterHelp is a scam…
And now I have to try that butter. :)
Some say Romeo and Juliet is the greatest love story ever written, but legends know it is "Alex and butter". 🤣
I love Bordier butter. I literally have to pre-order it a month in advance to get them where I live
I love seeing people passionate about what they do.
This butter is incredible! Tried it in Paris and have been importing it ever since.
Challenge: Read the title of this video without hearing his voice in your head.
Fascinating! Love how enthusiastic they are to show off their craft
Getting my hands on some of this butter her in Australia is on my food bucket list.
I miss the seasonal changes in dairy products in Australia that i remember as a kid which included butter.
Now the supermarkets what no changes the same day to day month to month.
And everyone has forgotten the joys of seasonal food
Never thought that making butter like this would be so cool to watch. Granted I know it's prestigious butter but that makes it all the better. Glad they let Alex try himself as well. "I only have one hand and half a brain!" lol.
Having easy access to really good butter is something we almost take for granted in Europe. I rarely make butter from scratch anymore, but I do like making & keeping a variety of compound butters on hand. Though butter can be incorporated into some very complex dishes - sometimes keeping it simple with warm bread or thick cut toast, slathered in butter so it melts & maybe used as a vehicle for a poached egg or as soldiers to dip into the yolk of a soft boiled one.
i can not help but to fall in love with food bringing people together
That was great ... Have a feeling I've seen a doco on this company ...the blending wheel thing was what reminded me ...very cool
This one really made me smile. I was waiting to hear “spread it like butter”.
This video was great, and beautiful, thank you for this!
This butter is surprisingly affordable. I expected it to be twenty times more expensive than a regular table butter, but it only costs six times as much.
Now i know what butter i should buy, thankyou.
Merci pour cette vidéo Alex !!!
Et bravo l'équipe de Bordier pour le travail.
Please please please tell me you're doing a butter series. I learnt so much from this❤️
Betterhelp, really? The worst, most scummy sponsor toying with peoples mental health....
Says who
@@chasebelcher7932 The FTC basically, amongst others.
Yes, really. These videos aren't gonna sponsor themselves. Being a keyboard warrior doesn't help. He got kids to feed, bills to pay, and crew to provide. Your empty morals help no one.
@@gurugurumawaru7869 So sponsorship money is more important than ethics? Betterhelp has been selling mental health related data which is a complete no-no. The FTC agreed to that as well.
The Federal Trade Commission finalized an order requiring online counseling service BetterHelp to pay $7.8 million and prohibiting it from sharing consumers’ health data for advertising, resolving allegations the firm shared consumers’ sensitive health data with third parties such as Facebook and Snapchat for advertising after promising to keep such data private.
@@gurugurumawaru7869 says the keyboard warrior who goes through the entire comment section to shill for Alex on every comment pointing out Better Help's predatory behaviour.
never knew there was so much that went into a good butter
Well, now I need this.
Trop cool! I really enjoyed this video Alex!
“This is like Ghost” 😂
8kg of butter a year is about 8000g % 356 days = 22g/day. Usually a stick of butter is about 200g so if you imagine eating a 10th of a stick of butter every day that's how much the average frenchman eats butter apparently.
going by most youtube cooking videos you need 2 sticks of butter in every dish, along with a fist full of salt and half a pint of cream...22g is pretty restrained 🤣
When you lay it out like that it honestly isn't that much.
@@RejonMunchausen Yeah I just ate 4 scrambled eggs with more than 22g butter and that was just my first meal of the day lol
@@jackinthebox301 keep in mind that in those numbers are also vegan people and babys that don't eat butter at all and the french meditaranian side who uses olive oil way more than butter.
And yet french are amongst the healthiest in europe
I need to try this butter just once in my life.
My wife and i have loved his butter for years now. Hard to brong back to Sweden though. Cooler in the car👍 His restaurant next door in Saint Malo is top top!
reminds me when i was in a small local supermarket in italy with my brother in law. i was cooking for the family that evening and i was looking for the butter. he found some industry standard butter in a plastic cup. i declined that and asked him to show me where he found the butter. after searching through the whole butter section i found a locally made (veneto area) butter wrapped in a paper and a string around it. i opened it on the spot to taste it.. and told him: now THAT'S BUTTER
Next on this channel: Alex buys a cow to make butter himself 😂😂
These videos are so good, do more trips to these producers
I really enjoy these visits to craftsmen and factories! It's very interesting and inspiring.
So much information packed into this video.
I know nothing about cooking but I had to watch because I knew it would help me decide which butter to order. Either salted or unsalted.
Nice video, I've spent a lot of summers in that part of France, eating crepes and galettes with a lot of good butter :D
Absolutely fantastic! Nothing beats high quality butter!!!! 😋🤤
I sense a mad science project by Alex coming...
So are we now getting a butter series? that would be amazing to watch and learn
I miss the yellow progress bar on ads
Wow, everyone so very generous with their time. Very very interesting process I'd love to try buckwheat butter
my goodness those butters look fantastik
More of this exotic yet common food productions please
The history of the Saint-Malo wooden kneader makes me want to cry. Stories about love make me want to cry.
