The quiet return of that sketchy prepaid card influencer

I followed a budgeting influencer who got canceled in 2022 for pushing a shady prepaid card with hidden fees. Last month she popped back up with a new channel, same sponsors, not even a real apology. I dug into her old videos and found she was using a simple trick: she never said 'sponsored' in the first 30 seconds, so watch time and trust went up. I tried that exact approach on my own small channel just to test it, and my retention jumped from 42% to 61% in a week. Has anyone else noticed that these canceled folks just rebrand their presentation, not their behavior, and does that make them worse or smarter?
