What if KDH and Anderton were in bed together and this was all a ploy to boost his amp sales. Victory sale incoming?

If the admins were smart, they’d offer a $15 platinum membership with additional laugh reactions.

I'd pay it purely out of spite towards my old haunt.

I did not know who KDH was before this crap hit the fan.
KDH appears to be the Ralph Nader of the music world. Only difference is he stands to benefit from peddling his obvious (to me) feigned outrage.
Irony can be very ironic eh?

It's a victory for everyone because now Andertons will no longer brake the law in their videos. You can't get it any simpler than that.
I don't get why anyone would get their knickers in a twist because someone called them out for not disclosing ownership. You don't care? OK, someone else maybe does. Don't give clicks to KDH and that's that.
Disclaimer: I didn't watch this video, no idea what's said in it.

It's a small a basically useless victory, if you ask me, being Anderton's a shop advertising themselves and stuff they sell in all their videos.
The fact that Lee (partially in this case and we don't even know to what extent) own a brand they stock looks like pretty irrelevant to me.
It's not irrelevant for the UK laws? fine, that's an Anderton's problem.
From a consumer prospective I don't see any harm being made to anyone in this story, they've published thousands of videos in the last 10+ years and only a few of them are about Victory products and, honestly, I've never seen them pushing a victory product more than any other.

What law were they breaking?

Here in the US, it's Caveat Emptor and not against the law to not disclose like it is there, so that may be why many here, or other places where this law doesn't exist, really think this is a nothing burger and a waste of time to get twisted over.

In UK they have something called "Advertsing Standard Authority" and they say "If you own (in full, co-own or in part), or are employed by a brand and use your social media account to promote its products, you must make this known and clearly label these posts as ads."
After this video they have contacted Anderton and he said that ownership will be disclosed from now on.

Yeah, but now I've got a question:
If Anderton's Music Company doesn't own a share in Victory Amps (because Lee Anderton does, as far as I understand) does those rules apply to the content created by Anderton's Music Company or only Lee's?
