The Stock Pot — Sponsor Policy & Ethical Guidelines

At The Stock Pot, we believe trust is everything. Whether you're a long-time subscriber or a potential partner, you deserve to know how we approach sponsorships and brand relationships. This policy outlines the values and boundaries we follow when working with sponsors — to protect both our creative independence and our community’s trust.

1. We Always Keep Creative Control

We don’t accept sponsorships that require us to change, soften, or withhold our opinions. Our content is created independently, and sponsors do not have input into what we say or how we say it. If we feature something on the channel, it’s because it fits naturally — not because we were told what to say.

2. You Can’t Buy Our Opinions

Financial support doesn’t equal a free pass. Sponsors can’t pay to influence our thoughts, feedback, or commentary. We will never present a product or brand more positively than we genuinely feel — even if it’s part of a paid partnership.

3. We Partner With Brands That Align With Our Values

We’re selective about who we work with. If a sponsor’s behavior or business practices don’t align with our ethics — whether before, during, or after an agreement — we reserve the right to end the partnership immediately. We care about who we support, and we believe our viewers do too.

4. We Don’t Do Reviews — But We Do Value-Add Integrations

We don’t offer paid product reviews. Instead, we’ll consider integrating a brand or product into our content only if it’s relevant and genuinely adds value for our audience. Our goal is to keep content useful, engaging, and transparent — not promotional for the sake of it.
