A key promise in Paris’s bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics was that its famous river, the Seine, would be cleaned up in time to host open water swimming events: the triathlon, para triathlon, and marathon swimming. But swimming has been banned in the Seine for a century because the Paris sewer system is designed to dump wastewater into the river during heavy rain, when the sewers get overwhelmed by stormwater.
When that happens, levels of E. coli, a bacteria associated with fecal matter, spike in the river, making it too contaminated to swim in. In order to make good on its promise to clean the river, Paris officials took on a $1.5 billion USD infrastructure project that includes a massive underground tank and tunnel system meant to hold excess sewage during heavy rain and prevent further contamination of the Seine.
Water quality testing will be done daily ahead of the Olympic games this summer, and Paris officials are hopeful their ambitious plan to host swimming in the famously polluted river will succeed.

everyone so vocal about the Betterhelp sponsor but aren't vocal about the sponsors of news channels, big pharmaceutical companies, politicians, scientific studies, universities etc. 🤣🤣 make it make sense
I found one! Took awhile, though
"BetterHelp shares your data" i mean, lets be honest, who doesnt
keep looking
bots trying to hide things about india and immigrants
clicked off as soon as i saw you doing a better help sponsorship.. no integrity.
Doing the same. If I see it I don't watch. Hopefully that will send a message.
Why's that?
14 mins and someone did a sponsorblock entry for it already
As everyone should. Unacceptable at this point
Can somebody explain why betterhelp is bad ? I always thought it was a great alternative for people who can’t get appointements where they live
Ah, BetterHelp as sponsor. If you value your privacy don't give them your data, they'll sell it.
Unsubscribing due to BetterHelp.
Google does just as much if not more so it’s good to use ad blockers and trackers to keep your information safe online!
Companies like Betterhelp and Established Titles convinced me to get Sponsorblock. I didn't have that big of an issue with Sponsorships before then but promoting literal scams is unacceptable. If TH-camrs won't hold these companies accountable then they shouldn't complain about not making any money. The same happened with Banner and Video ads before. People didn't have a problem with them until they become overly bothersome.
So you tell them your deepest secrets and they'll sell it to the Chinese?
Also not great therapists in my experience
They should have fixed this poop problem a long time ago. It shouldn't take the Olympics coming to town to fix infrastructure

@@mrpw1402 it isnt video ruining, calm tf down
@JadeTheRock they have the choice to select different sponsors. I don't have an issue with Sponsorships as long as they aren't scams.
The views are all TH-cam cares about, so this spam campaign is going to have the opposite effect. Better help videos are getting MORE VIEWS because of these astroturfers.

Hey, sharks never intentionally prey on humans, they’re important to the ecosystem and are also generally excellent. Leave sharks alone.

Exactly right, can't believe he did this
The 2024 Netflix Movie "Under Paris" is comically similar to this entire scenario. The swimming leg of a triathlon is held in the same river full of giant sharks. There's even a stubborn Mayor of Paris who insists the race should go ahead amid warnings to cancel it.
Maybe this is not famous outside France, but, in 1995, Chirac promised he would swimm in the seine before 2002. 22y later the river is still not safe ...
Our politicians just always lie.
Isn't there an App created to tell people where to poop so that the Seine is full of poop when politicians swim? And I'm not talking about BetterHelp.
@@MartinMenge yes it does

@@cometstar4050 i am french, never heard about it 🤣

Therapy is great but BetterHelp has shown on multiple occasions to be the opposite of that. I know Vox needs money but pick a better sponsor, you have the viewer base to support choice.
Do they need money though? Seems like the parent company Comcast Penske Media Corporation is doing quite well. I know Vox is presenting itself as a small independent journalistic operation that barely stays afloat, but is that true? I don't know the answer but I am suspicious though. regardless they shouldnt take sponsors that do morally dubious stuff, at least i know that for sure.

The video is not an old release, but the script was in preparation for a while.
Do you not understand how time works? Just because something is in the relatively near future still means it's in the future, and English has no near future tense.
@@I_Love_Learningyou think may is in the future?
I'm guessing if the president / mayor take the dip they're going to shower immediately afterwards, keep their heads above water, and get tested a few days after haha. I don't understand why they wouldn't just have outdoor swimming events somewhere else in France with cleaner water.

Better Help is a disgrace to the profession!!!! I would literally never use this service-it is not real therapy.
"Giant 13 million gallon capacity"? Thirteen million gallons is literally a drop in the bucket. Paris is 105 square kilometers. A quarter inch of rain over 10 square miles equates to 43 million gallons.
I think betterhelp is polluting the water rather than poop.
you can test that by looking for the be. tter-helpi bacteria
polluting the mind.
Clicked for the thumbnail, left for the sponsorship
I honestly expected this video to start with a dramatic "this is poop." in a true Vox fashion
As a french person i'm pretty sad you did not mention the plan of some people to poop directly in the river few days before the Olympics to make Macron and Hidlago regret spending billions on that event... Love the french creativity when it comes to protest
France is like that friend who lets their place get filthy when it's just them and then 20 minutes before guests arrive tries to clean real quick.
Then insists that their guests wash their hands in the toilet
Don't forget history said they are not the most clean. Older infrastructure is harder to fix, they will need to gut it. So yes it's not cheap or a priority.
Calling Paris, France, is quite funny for you to say. As a south of France residents, I will never be exposed to such issues in my home town nor will be the 99.9% of cities outside Paris.
@@patatr4943 so your contention is that Paris is not France? It's not France that is hosting the Olympics? Just Paris?
@coachmcguirk6297 there is a saying in French "Paris ce n'est pas la France" (Paris isn't France). And as a matter of fact those are Paris Olympics not France Olympics... (yes Im French).
BETTERHELP???
Paris will never solve its poop problem in time, because I am currently eating Taco Bell all day and pooping directly into the river.
If you had better help with your bowels, things might be a little different.
LOOOOOL
@@JPabloRL Bruh, I can't. 🤣
This was such an epic rebuttal towards the lack of sponsor-bashing.
Surely, there must be pools where athletes can swim. There might not be pools that can accommodate a thousand spectators, but organized sports are televised anyway. It's my understanding that the 2020 Olympics didn't have in-person spectators either.
why would you even choose that sponsor, stop
Because they are poop. And better help is the official sponsor of poop.
BETTER NOT GET HELP

Why? I have thought of using betterhelp many times and I have not been dissapointed.

10-15 times a year sewage is dumped in the Seine is nothing compared to the UK where most sewer overflows discharge well over 50 times and there are numerous examples of them discharging over 150 times a year.
Which UK cities use combined effluent and stormwater systems?
@@av_oid The question is more which do not. A few new developments segregate waste from rainwater, but most areas have combined sewer systems. Discharges also frequently happen at sewage works when the 'storm tanks' which are supposed to store excess water overflow into rivers.
I wonder how much BetterHelp pays to sponsor a youtuber. And why do these youtubers keep accepting it despite the controversy surrounding BetterHelp?
Can Vox fix its Sponsor problem before they lose all credibility?

Municipalities can implement various methods to collect rainwater and repurpose sewer systems for biofuel production.

All comments are about BetterHelp xD. I was also really confused that Vox had sponsors, let alone BetterHelp...
They were just about to speak on this until BetterHelp disrupted it all... Now they don't speak of anything in topic anymore, and all they want was everyone who were involved or sponsored with BetterHelp to disassociate themselves from it.
I like how even gambling as a sponsor would've been better received
they should build a bunch of these in Paris at least 15 to 20 years ago since they knew the issue the heavy rain back up the sewer what causes it to run off into the river
What about the sharks? Will they fix that as well? 🙊
I don't know if I would be comfortable swimming in this river until I knew that no sewage was being drained into it at all and it had been thoroughly cleaned.
Did they actually say whether it was treated or untreated sewage? I don't think they specified if it was raw sewage or not.
The most astonishing thing is that they knew for 8 years that they will be hosting the Olympics in 2024. And yet they still failed to take any measures to actually improve the quality of the water in Seine.
Better help make the company owners rich, and therapists poor.

@@BuildinWings didn't know but not surprised. very ironic considering the content they make
@@vem9583 It's Vought.

I wouldn't be shocked to see if one of the other areas of VOX haven't done a video on BH not being the greatest company for your information of your your mental health. 🤣
Houston .. we have poop problem 😅
Yeah, such a poopy sponsor; smh
So there is a solution and it is fairly straightforward but we need the Olympic Games to justify stopping waste from being dumped into rivers?
*I am telling you, they can't contain the shark!*
aight people there's no way they don't know about better help, they just don't care
Wait, if they could hold the Olympics in 1900 despite their sewers dumping into the river, why can't they do the same thing now?
less water test and probably less people living in the area (though that might have been offset by lower (non existent ?) sewage treatment)
Probably because there were fewer toxic chemicals being dumped into the waters in 1900 and there were like a quarter of the people living in the Greater Paris area compared to today.
It shouldn't be too big of a problem if most people already don't give many s**ts about the Olympics to start with.
“Under Paris” 😂😂
Careful for the sharks lol
I was just in Paris last week. Let's just say, the Seine didn't look like something I would swim in. But I guess I am spoiled, living in Zurich with a river so clean, you can see far to the ground and there are several public baths along the river Limmat.
Better help ad? The company that takes your money and your data to sell? Nah I'm good.

Im actually glad everybody is talking about the sponsorship instead of the video, im so sick of people having goldfish memory online. Any company can do anything when people dont care more than 3 business days, an absolute nightmare.
