Unfortunately this is true for advertisements/sponsorships everywhere. Not sure if there is a true one size fit all solution for fixing these products other than individual channels actually vetting/checking who pays them money.

There are some good channels that unfortunately just take whatever sponsor deal they get. I ended up using sponsorblock for the most part, and then support those channels I care about on patreon/ko-fi

They are Canadian based, which is a very important distinction.

It advertises on multiple platforms, so it must be evil?

I don't understand this mentality, just because a youtuber is sponsored by a product, the product must be bad/malicious/acting in bad faith.

There are many channels on youtube that aren't morally corrupt or soulless. If a company sponsors a channel on yt, it just means more people become aware of the product. which is the whole point of the sponsorships.
