Special news segments *Pew news intro plays in BG*

Good evening. I'm Poppy Harlow here for your *special* news segment

any youtuber mentioned in this video is just for context (lwiay intro smile)

I am not dragging these people. It's JUST for context, full disclaimer guys:

Just context. No for real it is just context *smirk*

I think if this story goes mainstream which it very likely will, it will have a negative impact on youtubers

you've already heard about it from your favorite youtuber

There is a list of over a hundred youtubers who have promoted this website

It's been all over reddit, my own subreddit. I always see these ads (but not the sweet submissions? jk pewds)

try online therapy and you too can grow a magnificent beard just like this guy *pewds is just jealous smh*

Well, it's been marketed as cheap, affordable, and private online therapy, with a professional.

I discussed betterhelp in a previous video where I first heard about it

and I was cautious about it, calling it a scam.

Because I've seen not just youtubers, but actual therapists shilling the service.

Shane: So we really believe it Felix: You're a sociopath.

By the way, this video is sponsored by online therapy.

So what's wrong with betterhelp then? You can have online therapy without leaving your house.

That's great, that sounds almost too good to be true.

Well, yes, yes because it is. With Betterhelp, they have attempted to mass produce therapy.

And they've gathered this many users by saying this:

"If you sign up with Betterhelp, you will pay only 65 dollars.

Whereas if you go to an actual therapist and meet face-to-face, you'll be paying

150 dollars." So look at how much money you are saving by using Betterhelp instead of face-to-face therapy.

they acknowledge that if you are using this site,

it is not a complete substitute for face-to-face examination

and for a session by a licensed, qualified professional.

So it's marketed as a cheaper substitute for therapy, when in reality, it's a luxury, it's an addition to therapy.

Look how much money you are saving by not going to therapy. Also, by the way, you need to go to therapy.

When you subscribe to Betterhelp, let's say you pick the most popular one.

65 dollars per week, but you are billed monthly.

So when the 7 day trial runs out, you're immediately billed 260 dollars.

As soon as that trial ends, you are charged immediately

260 dollars. And even if you immediately cancel, you are still charged the full amount for a month, that you will not use.

And there's a lot of reviews that reinforce this. Betterhelp says how long will I use this service?

You can cancel the subscription of the service at any time,

we'll just charge you for the full month anyway.

Now I've seen comments saying that if you contact them, they will pay you back.

So, if you lost money signing up for this,

Betterhelp also says that we'll find you an online therapist.

Well, uh, you can just do this quick questionnaire and we'll find the right person for you.

But in their Terms of Service, they also say:

"We cannot assess whether the use of the councilor is right and suitable for your needs."

They don't take accountability for anything.

You can find a therapist that does phone calls or texting by yourself.

that they give no warranty for their willingness to give advice. They make no warranty

whether what they say is even relevant, useful, correct, relevant  a g a i n,

So they don't take responsibility for anything. How convenient.

On review sites, it says that betterhelp is 69 percent positive and 21 percent negative.

That's because they had a good therapist, not because betterhelp provided good service.

Because they don't take accountability for any of their counselors.

Which then leads to a lot of people having bad experiences.

They say themselves that they don't diagnose,

the platform is not intended for diagnoses.

But then you have really questionable videos of Youtubers saying:

"I suffer with binge eating, which I do want to talk to you guys about

because I was officially diagnosed with Binge Eating Disorder

I was officially diagnosed by their therapist.

"If you guys have ever heard of betterhelp.com"

So you were officially diagnosed by a therapist?

Therapists should not diagnose you, by the way.

And better help themselves say that, but still, apparently it happens.

We just kept setting appointments and he just kept missing them

and not giving me any warning or any real reason

and was really unprofessional in his messages.

I'm seeing betterhelp everywhere and I'm getting flashbacks."

Obviously, if you meet a therapist face-to-face, you can still have bad experiences.

but if betterhelp themselves doesn't take any accountability of finding you the right therapist or any

accountability for the actions of their therapist then what's the point? What do they do besides charging you?

It just came to my attention that I missed a portion of the Terms of Service

This one is deeply concerning and guess why I missed it? They deleted it. Just a few days ago
