Exactly. Does Eddie pay less at Offroad Evolution than say me? Of course. The point is, his videos, forums, etc generate A LOT OF MONEY for those companies, the same principle as sponsors on Nascars. If Dynatrac didn't receive more money BECAUSE of Eddie, they would have no financial interest in sponsoring him. It is simple business. I know a bunch of people that are "sponsored" by manufacturers, but it's not a real sponsorship because the company doesn't get higher sales figures from said people.
I can promise you that Evo sold a lot of rocksliders simply by watching the bashing they take on the WOL videos. A lot of parts on my Jeep are SOLELY there due to the fact that I saw the abuse they can take, no one sold me on anything. I have also seen (on other forums) where people said "Eddie hates AEV" and the same trolldom starts with Eddie bashing....in reality, Eddie and I discussed AEV many times, and both of us agreed that AEV makes some amazing products, but also some crap. Some people can't handle the truth, and that's the reality of it.
Butthurt is a virus of epidemic proportions these days.
