I have done a fair number of sponsored videos the last two years. Usually it goes well, but when I tried to get a company to fix a problem with their product, I hit an impasse.
Though I don't try to hide the company name, I deliberately didn't mention them in anythign I said because I don't want this video to show up if you search for the company -- I'm not out to hurt them. So you can see the company name and logo on the battery box, but that probably isn't enough for YouTube's search algorithms to pick up on that.
This is a revised version of the video, see explanation starting at 9:05
