For anyone who watches hunting show routinely, do you notice that they don't always use the same gear year after year? I'm just kind of thinking out loud here, but what do ya'll think of this..?

Let's say this guy uses this product this year, and of course he/she is enodorsing it as the single greatest thing since sliced bread. Enter the next year....using the same product by another competitor, and IT'S now the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Ok look. I understand they have a business to run, and money is what runs that business. I understand that sponsors are the only way that's going to be done, and they certainly must speak highly of their sponsors.

BUT, what does that do for the credibility of said host? In my mind, it totally destroys it. I must wonder, are they endorsing said product because they really like it, and enjoy using it, or simply because they have to?? Do they really mean what they are saying about it, because next year it will be something different.

So I guess my point is.....how many people buy and use things because So and So on TV uses it and says it's great, and how many people use what they use because they actually like it, and believe in it?

I don't mean this in a negative fashion, either. I enjoy watching hunting shows, very much. I am just to the point where I pay absolutely NO attention to what they are using and why.

EDIT; there's some great points in this thread. Please don't just read my opening thread and post a reply. Take the time to read them all. Thanks.
