Adam from YMS Calls Out FÜM Sponsor: What YouTube Ads Aren’t Telling You

3 minute read

Subheading: When influencer sponsorship goes too far, and viewers end up in the crosshairs.


YouTube sponsorships are a regular part of creator life. Most of us just skip past them, but sometimes, what’s hidden in those ad reads can actually matter. Adam from YMS (YourMovieSucks) just shined a light on this—calling out FÜM, a product you’ll probably recognize from YouTuber mid-rolls.

What is FÜM, and Why Is Everyone Suddenly Upset?

FÜM is marketed as a “natural” inhaler to help people quit smoking or vaping. The idea is: swap your cigarette or vape for this little stick, breathe in the good smells, and beat your habit.

Sounds simple, right? Here’s the problem: Adam says FÜM’s marketing is seriously misleading. Most YouTubers are saying it’s a safe alternative you can inhale all day. But according to Adam, and backed by some digging, that’s not true—and it might actually be dangerous if you follow the ads’ advice.

The Real Risks Behind the Hype

Here’s what’s actually happening (watch Adam’s breakdown here if you want all the details):

  • FÜM Isn’t Meant to Be Inhaled Like a Vape:
    The product itself says so. But a lot of sponsored videos show creators breathing in deeply, almost like it’s a healthy vape. That’s not how it works.

  • Not for Frequent Use:
    FÜM’s website (if you dig around) admits it’s not meant for constant use. Still, many influencers suggest you can puff away all day. That’s risky.

  • Health Red Flags:
    Some users felt chest pain and trouble breathing after using FÜM the way it’s advertised by creators. That’s not something you’d expect from a so-called “safe” product.

Influencer Responsibility—And What Happens Next

If you’ve ever wondered how much sponsors check what creators are actually saying, here’s your answer: sometimes, not much at all.

Creators read the ad script. Some might exaggerate, others might not even know the risks. The result? Viewers are left with a false sense of security—and could end up in real discomfort, or worse.

Adam’s video puts this front and center. He isn’t looking for a takedown—he just wants sponsors and YouTubers to be upfront. Tell people what a product actually does and what it doesn’t do. That’s not too much to ask.

So What Should You Do?

If you’ve bought a FÜM, or saw a YouTuber recommend it, here’s the deal:

  • Read the instructions—really. Don’t just copy the influencer’s demo.
  • If you feel weird after using a product—stop. Doesn’t matter what the ad says.
  • Be skeptical: Just because someone you like on the internet loves something on video, doesn’t mean it’s safe for you.

Bottom Line

Sponsorships pay the bills for a lot of YouTubers. But honesty and safety matter more than quick cash or a free product.

Adam’s callout is a reminder for everyone—viewers and creators—to slow down and check twice before breathing in the next “healthy” alternative.
