Beck came under criticism in February 2015 as manager of the German YouTube - Star Bianca Heinicke. [2] In one of her videos, Heinicke recommended a watch for around 250 EUR (~276,48 USD). However, she had concealed the fact that she made a profit via the Affiliate web link she offered under her video. Beck was accused by german TV Host Jan Böhmermann (Neo magazine Royale) of operating a business model with "mixture of the coolness of QVC combined with the seriousness and transparency of 9Live". The product placements would allow "13-year-olds to pay for his future pension". [3]
