BetterHelp affiliate links are ubiquitous among YouTubers, and earlier this year, even NFL legend Tom Brady partnered with the site to shill discounted therapy sessions.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>That's caught many of those public figures heat, though. According to the FTC, BetterHelp broke its confidentiality promises by selling health information of over seven million consumers to the likes of Facebook, Snapchat, and Pinterest for advertising purposes.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>In May, the embattled company agreed to pay $7.8 million to settle the regulator's allegations, but has maintained that the move wasn't an admission of wrongdoing. (Neither BetterHelp nor Eminem responded to a request for comment.)\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>The company offers relatively affordable \u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/how-can-telehealth-help-to-monitor-mental-health\">online counseling sessions\u003C/a>, often undercutting mainstream prices. Whether clients are getting quality mental health care, though, remains debatable.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>"We have a huge demand for mental health services that needs to be met and the space is there for mental health offerings," University of Sydney psychologist Andrew Campbell told The Guardian earlier this year. "The other side of the coin is about the quality and the safety of the service... and that’s my concern about BetterHelp."\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>"Because it has a reputation of doing, I would say, quantity over quality," he added.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>In instances of a mental health crisis like those Eminem poignantly discusses in "Somebody Save Me," that could prove to be a disaster.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>"I felt they were treated like Uber drivers," BetterHelp’s first clinical director Sonya Bruner, who now runs her own small therapy website, told the Wall Street Journal in 2022. "There are a lot of good counselors on there, but you also find counselors who aren’t, who do the minimum. They don’t get paid a lot, so they’ll phone it in."\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Despite recently settling with the FTC over its less-than-stellar client privacy practices, BetterHelp is now looking to expand into Australia, raising alarm bells among critics.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>"Australian consumers deserve to know what BetterHelp has been doing with their data here and we’re urging the privacy commissioner to investigate any potential misuses," consumer advocacy group Choice's Kate Bower told The Guardian.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>In short, Eminem is setting a dangerous precedent by using his enormous reach and influence, often to a troubled fan base, to advertise a controversial service.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Some fans, however, are giving him a break.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>"Em is my therapist," one Reddit user wrote.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Thank you!\u003Cbr />\nJoin us on social networks!\u003Cbr />\nSee you!\u003C/p>","eminem-slaps-affiliate-link-for-much-criticized-teletherapy-startup-on-end-of-new-video","2024-10-27T12:37:11.000000Z","2024-10-28T03:00:00.000000Z","28.10.2024",{"image":81,"image_webp":82,"thumb":83,"thumb_webp":84},"https://cdn.quasa.io/images/news/ZtWLL0wEWnsvJkyaPUoWlnwgIyTSLb6q4zhLIoPd.jpg","https://cdn.quasa.io/images/news/ZtWLL0wEWnsvJkyaPUoWlnwgIyTSLb6q4zhLIoPd.webp","https://cdn.quasa.io/thumbs/news-thumb/images/news/ZtWLL0wEWnsvJkyaPUoWlnwgIyTSLb6q4zhLIoPd.jpg","https://cdn.quasa.io/thumbs/news-thumb/images/news/ZtWLL0wEWnsvJkyaPUoWlnwgIyTSLb6q4zhLIoPd.webp","small",null,1202,0,"en",{"id":14,"title":15,"slug":16,"meta_title":91,"meta_description":92,"meta_keywords":93,"deleted_at":86,"created_at":94,"updated_at":95,"lang":89},"Quasa Media — Growth Hacking in Marketing","All the most interesting and useful about marketing.
