I’ve been binging THP and just started the 2020 season. I like these guys and they have gained/provided a lot of useful knowledge over the years. However, this is the first season they started doing legit gear endorsements, primarily Bear and Trophy Ridge, and I understand that is how to make money on YouTube. That being said, I really enjoyed the show more before they started going commercial. Meateater was sorta the same in the beginning. You never saw them pimping this brand or that brand. Times change as people get a following and brands want to leverage them to sell things and a guy has to make a living. I’d probably do the same if I was in their shoes, just liked the content better in previous seasons.
