Truth....UConn was super underrated. They're an excellent team/program.
Although actually, I've been more closely following the ladies since as long as I can remember.
Now there's a team, despite being decimated by injuries, have been playing out of their minds for 2 years!
I wish the US were more involved in tennis. Team sports are nice and all, but there are too many variables that obfuscate how the game was won or lost, e.g. "Our defense played poorly." or "We lost because of 'x' reason."
Personal accountability raises the stakes tenfold and adds a whole new level of intensity to sports.
But hey, I'm a 25-year-old retard - what do I know?
P.S. LeftyLanky - You and I both know there are associated risks with being a paid-promoter. You're being paid to promote this content because your audience views you as a credible source. I believe that you are giving your honest opinion and had only good intentions, but that's inconsequential. If enough people are dissatisfied with a product, then they think "Why did I buy this to begin with?", and when the answer is you, then it's natural to feel a sense of betrayal. People wouldn't be as critical if you weren't getting paid. I'm not sure if any of that makes sense - oh well. Refer to "...I'm a 25-year-old retard - what do I know?"

You don't know enough to stop using such an ugly, offensive word.

Return policy: There really should be a return policy. The product is so new that may not be worked out yet between the companies. SleepRes does offer refunds.
You're encouraging people to buy the VCOM from your sponsor, and someone who bought from them said:

I bought a Vcom last week. I used it one night about a minute. I was suffocating with it on. I tried to return it, but they only refund unopened and unused.
I'm sorry you choose to blow off that issue.

Personally, I hold people claiming education and experience in a field to a higher standard than I do some random guy on the street.
I think that any so-called professional who wants to be taken seriously by anyone anywhere should not be publicly promoting hardware modifications that alter CPAP treatment when doing so is not endorsed or approved by manufacturers or medical bodies. Those who do so are a discredit to themselves and cheapen the discourse.
Statements like "hey, it worked for me" are not harmless statements of opinion when coming out of the mouth of someone claiming some experience and educated insight into a medical field when the outcome could be dangerous, potentially life-threatening, to some others.
Irresponsible. Unethical. Misleading. Dangerous. Legally risky. Whether someone directly profits from his own foolish statements or not.
I personally consider endorsing v-com to be the equivalent to recommending the application of fresh cow dung and the hair of a toad as a treatment for warts because "hey, it worked for me."
Glad your warts improved. Still never gonna take anything you say seriously ever again and will instead give my personal recommendation that you be ignored from now on as a simple matter of a common-sense safety precaution.
Do the right thing: Apologize to your viewers for your reckless comments and correct your misinformation before your digging in your heals further on v-com makes you a hardened purposeful spreader of disinformation.
There is still time. Regain the respect you had before your misstep on this matter.
Either be a man known for educational material on medical science or be a dancing showman just out to get views. But trying to be both at the same time will tend to alienate those who want real information backed by medical science and those who only want a good show.
And rightly so.
Hey, just me.
I do try my best to be courteous, tolerant, and kind. But I also feel the need to speak up when something needs to be said in order to avoid mistaken kindness.
