What difference does it make? What you buy for yourself should not be dictated by celebrities in the first place—whether they sell it to you directly or not.

I have also seen people accused of this because they were drinking out of a specific can or there was some branded products in the background of their videos (in their house). Some of this is over the top and honestly I think a small disclaimer at the bottom of each video saying "this video may or may not have some products visable which may or may not be part of a paid endorsement" and leave it at that. That would be a legal disclaimer which no one could argue with and which would not detract from the content of the video.
