Should Content Creators be allowed to showcase “beta champs”

Don’t know why it’s bothering me so much, but I can’t help but think that content creators should not be allowed to rank up any champs they want to showcase.
My number one reason is they are able to test champs out and make rank up decisions based on what they have access too. If I was in CCP I would probably be testing all my champs as well, but feels like this ruins a particular element of the game; mainly the idea of exploring a new champ! Especially now when you see someone rank up a champ to R3 and you think they did something unique , but it’s just beta rank up.
One could argue this also helps make their rank up choices easier. But my point is, the game is supposed to be calculated every corner. Now it has become a playground.
How do you guys feel? If I were Kabam I would just give material to rank up the new champ.

The relationship between CCP and game company is something similar to a sub-contractor and main contractor. The game company allows those CCPs an early access under beta environment, in return those CCPs make content to "promote" new champs, so as to attract more PTW players willing to spend money on it. If CCPs are refrained from showcase new champs, then there is no need to have CCP at all.
If the CCP do a video on Antman at R5 and show him as viable then that can make my decision to rank him or not rank him easier as I’ve got hard data to go on to see if he’s worth my resources.
For Kabam, they’re getting access to free advertising and in depth field testing of champs that they haven’t touched for a while in end game content. When CCP do this video on Antman and discover that even in his best case scenario he’s not viable then he can go on Kabam’s buff list.
It's also completely irrelevant.
You also have the option not to watch their videos on new champs and make decisions on your own. There's probably like 30ish CCP members and only a handful that I can think of make videos like- Seatin, Lagacy, KT1, BG, Karatemike and Dave. RTM is in it but I rarely see any videos from him testing champs. I see content from Katy every once in awhile but not many others. Could be i'm not subscribed to their channels though.
I could care less what the CCP does. They are on a beta server that isn't connected with the live game. Things like someone placing Killmonger on defense for Seatin before his release can't happen anymore. Good for them being in the program. I'd love to be in it but i'm not great at making and editing videos and don't have the time for it and I have zero desire to voice videos and be on camera.
This is just another case of someone having something someone wants and doesn't want to do the work to get it and has to complain about it to lessen the worth of the people that have it. It's outright jealously.
Interesting thoughts. Thank you for the feedback.
This is not a case of that though. I never said I didn’t enjoy the videos nor did I say I don’t think it’s cool material. You read my message and basically said “ you are jealous, and don’t be lazy “. What I said was I would do the same thing. But my concern was just the calculated rank up of Mcoc. For me it feels like it completely eliminates an aspect of the game. This is a good thing because it helps us makes decisions, but at the same time I don’t like it.
The reality is that the programs does influence many people on rank up decisions. Doesn’t matter what the few of say.
It creates more talk about the game. It’s supposed to be a “better” version of that champ. Em creates excitement and people will continue to play to see said champ.
If they had CCP and they weren’t able to make the new updated public, it would leave the members only with the ability to say “I like the new update”.
That doesn’t excite people.
Since Kabam doesn't do champ break down videos, they never have aside from showcasing specials, we have to translate what's on paper to usability. The aspect of "calculates rank ups" still exists, just not in the way you want it too. Based on the info given, you still need to figure out how a champ fits into your team and if it's worth ranking up to you.
CCP doesn't exist to sway your opinion, or at least shouldn't, they exist to showcase what champs can do. Would it be nice for everyone to do what they can? Of course. I'd love to rank up freely and test some of my favorite champs like Moon Knight or Night Thrasher but I can't and I'm ok with it. I also know that I can spend my resources on those champs as well if I wanted too. I like what Seatin is doing with his Revisiting series. Because now incan see these lesser used champions in action without the cost of my resources.
