Popular YouTuber Tana Mongeau under fire for promoting essay writing site IMDB \/ EdubirdiePopular YouTuber Tana Mongeau is facing massive backlash, after promoting essay writing site \u2018Edubirdie\u2019 in a controversial tweet. Tana tweeted out a promo for the site on February 28, encouraging struggling students to use Edubirdie\u2019s services should they have a hard time writing their college essays. \u201cGuys, if writing in school is difficult for you, you need to make sure to check out Edubirdie!\u201d Tana wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s so helpful and easy to use.\u201d Tana\u2019s tweet was met with intense criticism from all sides, with even the likes of Drama Alert\u2019s Daniel \u2018KEEMSTAR\u2019 Keem chiming in on the issue. \u201cTana nooo, they banning people for promoting this,\u201d KEEM wrote in a retweet. Tana noooooooooooo, they banning people for promoting this\u2026\u2026. https:\/\/t.co\/ZBwEjtdtdo \u2014 KEEM :popcorn: (@KEEMSTAR) February 28, 2019 \u201cI tried edubirdie and got denied by 15 colleges,\u201d YouTuber Connor Howe sarcastically replied. \u201cThanks Tana!\u201d While Tana claimed that talent manager Jordan Worona had initially posted the offending promo, the tweet has since been deleted \u2013 likely in light of Edubirdie\u2019s problematic essay writing services. I tried edubirdie and got denied by 15 colleges. Thanks Tana! \u2014 Connor Howe :money_with_wings: (@yaboyconnorhowe) February 28, 2019 Edubirdie advertises \u201cprofessionally\u201d written essays starting at a steep price of $18 per page, and boasts a number of writers from which customers can pick and choose to fashion their paper. In fact, YouTube pulled advertisements for sites like Edubirdie in May of 2018 for violating their Academic Aid Policy, which prohibits ads for \u201ccustomized\/prewritten theses [and] dissertations\u201d \u2013 which many critics label as cheating and plagiarism. This likely explains why Tana opted to advertise the site via Twitter \u2013 although her post didn\u2019t last long, thanks to the warnings of critics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
