Is Better Help hiring actors to create fake reviews? Online counseling service Better Help has been at the center of a turbulent YouTube controversy \u2013 and now, things could be getting even worse for their image. Current YouTube king Felix \u2018 PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg uploaded a video dissecting the service\u2019s testimonials, noting that they appeared to be scripted, as one individual referred to another user\u2019s experience with the site rather than having used the service himself. \u201cJulian says that BetterHelp.com is a reliable, online platform to receive therapy,\u201d the reviewer stated. \u201c\u2026A therapist of theirs, Lauren McCoy, is attentive, and asks the right questions.\u201d Drama Alert host KEEMSTAR followed up the story with some additional investigation from fans, which revealed that the reviewer in question is a sales and marketing specialist up for hire on freelance service website Fiverr. The reviewer in question, Rob Spence, has a profile on the site that features an array of services, one of which is \u201ccreating a professional company spokesperson video\u201d \u2013 which lines up with his retelling of Julian\u2019s \u201ctestimony\u201d on the Better Help website. This story marks the latest in a slew of allegations against Better Help, which were exposed for their questionable terms of service. While the TOS have since been rewritten, YouTubers who partnered with the service are still catching heat for allegedly capitalizing off of their fans\u2019 mental health, including the likes of Shane Dawson, H3H3, and Philip DeFranco. These YouTubers allegedly make up to $200 per signup when viewers use their promotional code. While some of these personalities have defended their involvement with the company, others have since backed away from the service \u2013 one of which is Boogie2988, who stated that he \u201cno longer feels safe\u201d promoting the website after becoming aware of its TOS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
