lol at the first bit and only portion I read of your comment. wow example of exactly what's going on here, I'll ignore it.

Paying someone to break the law is a crime in itself, also getting someone to sign a contract which in itself is breaking the law means the contract holds no value whatsoever. But feel free to ignore that too, keep in mind I'm referring to EU trade laws here not US ones so not sure if they would cover machinima but I know any of the European youtubers would not be able to sign into this form of advertising.

Right now there is only speculation of a law being broken. Even if a law was broken, I don't have to agree it was unethical.

I don't feel this contract is asking users to mislead people. That's why I have no problem with it.

I don't think it has to be a review, just the context that any editorial or commentary in which a person is getting renumeration for an endorsement must have a disclaimer.

These videos are not advertisement, and thus need to have disclaimer about the renumeration to satisfy the FTC. The actual promotion itself is a decent idea and i see nothing wrong with it. The problem is that the agreement is explicitly stating that you cannot mention the renumeration.
