ni6hant's Website

Ethics for ni6hant regardless of which 7+ YouTube channels or 6+ Instagram accounts or 2+ reddit accounts or any such public facing service I use.

These things apply everywhere, even in real life. Remember, I have been recommending products long before YouTube was a thing. I just came online a few years ago.

I agree to:

Sponsorship Disclosure

If I ever take sponsorship in the future it will be very clear wherever I review the service/company in the blog or the video or wherever it is. In DMs if I still am continuing them, I might skip them due to the huge number of messages in a day but considering people come to DMs via such videos itself so it is understood in those case.

To this date the companies that have sponsored me are:

If information is collected from AI sources it will always be clearly mentioned

As it says. No explanation needed.

Oath to be brutally honest especially when hiding it might be more in my favor

I have already taken this oath when I started my new phase of channels years ago, but every time I feel like I should keep things to myself, I immediately make a post/blog/short/video about it depending on the ridiculousness of the video.

Oath to put you first before me even if putting you first might mean I have to quit this career

Have already been doing this for years. For example, a very common scenario that the same laptop is 1000 rupees cheaper on Flipkart and only a bit more on Lenovo. I only get commissions for Lenovo and not for Flipkart so in this case I WILL NOT PUSH YOU TO BUY LENOVO IN ANY WAY. I will still give you the correct response and what I think and will keep my own benefits to the side when talking to anyone. If it so happens that the place you buy stuff from gives be commission then I will ask you to use the links otherwise no issues. I even don't mind offline.

Many over one

If a comment or a DM seems like it's something others have been asking or I suspect this might help more than one person, I will write a blog, make a video or do something in the public domain because it might help more than just you and then come back and give you a link for the same. This is the reason why YouTube started in the first place.

You agree to:

Not abuse me or any other people on my platforms

Criticism is completely fine. You can completely disagree with me and what I say and you can even provide evidences as to why I am wrong but abuse is not tolerated. If the platform's own service doesn't take an action against you, I will, and a ban is permanent lifetime ban.

Bans cross-over channels and platforms so ban on one channel will get you banned on all other channels.

Be honest when talking to me

Don't manipulate me or lie to me. I don't work for any companies so there is no reason to not be totally honest with me. One of the reason I stopped doing Discord Tech help was this. There was one person who wanted to buy a Macbook but had got an LOQ instead and a few months later instead of telling me that he wanted a refund or sell the LOQ so that he could buy a Mac he started making many false issues in hope I might get a refund. Once I found this out, I stopped talking to him without explanation.

Affiliates I stopped working with

MonetizeDeal

Organized Scammers.

First few months they allow a few affiliate tracking but after that they suddenly stop tracking anything and keep the profits for themselves giving varoius excuses from time to time. And they have the same explanations that the person might not have clicked the link and so I suspected until I used the link to order a laptop in front of me and saw the tracking not happening at all, that's when I knew they are scammers.

If this was not enough, later they had the audacity of asking users to paste random ssh commands inside run that changes registry parameters just for the sake of verification of logging in. I will not be surprised if this company just changes their name randomly during operation.

Why I approached them in the first place?
I saw the links of this company used by Venom's Tech on YouTube and assumed these guys would be genuine. When I figured they aren't there were two possiblites:

Venom's Tech secretly owned this company or this company had Venom's Tech as their main client. In this case it would be foolish of me to contact Venom's Tech.
Venom's Tech just like me found out a company giving Lenovo and Flipkart's affiliate after Flipkart stopped giving affiliates to everyone not just me(This can't be confirmed as I still see people using Flipkart's own affiliate links so I guess I am not large enough YouTuber for Flipkart.)

Assuming the later, I mailed Venom's Tech explaining that these guys are scammers and you should stop using them. This was an incredibly risky move as I didn't know what was going on. But years later I can still see him using the links so I guess I was wrong in the first place.

Lenovo via MonetizeDeal

I only had this option back then. I approached a lot of companies but after multiple users used their links this and CueLinks below were the only one to show affiliates atleast in the beginning.

Flipkart via MonetizeDeal

This was the only Flipkart affiliate I had since Flipkart doesn't give me(atleast) their affiliate where all the campaigns are paused. The problem were two-fold: First, I already discussed above, about the affiliates not showing up but later I realized the amount per affiliate is capped to a few hundred rupees for each order.

So both

Flipkart's Own Affiliate Links starts with fkrt.it and not fkrtt.it.

CueLinks

Affiliates no Longer working

Flipkart's own affiliate

On the only account I have with Flipkart, for years it has been showing to pause your affiliate since there will be no payout. I still use their link shortener which is still working even if the affiliate is not working.

Flipkart's Own Affiliate Links starts with fkrt.it and not fkrtt.it.

I could have continued using other scammer's affiliate links, see above, but I thought if they are willing to scam me, what are they willing to do users?

I still see people using Flipkart's own affiliate links so I guess I am not large enough YouTuber for Flipkart to allow me affiliates.
