On second thought I think the negative response he's getting is actually justified. I mean we can assume to mark's benefit that those two people actually did get paid model release buyouts for appearing in a commercial, which would be the proper and legal way. But from the fact that he's been silent to a multitude of people asking him this exact question on his insta, some with over 100 likes, plus the way things usually are done in the industry, it is the much safer bet that they didn't. And that makes it especially exploitative.
Plus I think we simply have to take into account who this is coming from. People need to stand up to the image they craft of themselves in the public eye and Mark Suciu is no GX1000 roughboy. Cf. this:

Everything I’ve seen from him so far leads me to believe Marky Boy is sincere, self aware, and well-intentioned, so I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt here. Bad thread.
The fact that Suciu didn't take into account how this would be received and didn't see any need for some detailed bts info that makes it all less cringe is a baffling lapse of judgement and he deserves to have it shoved in his face. I think we all know this isn't the type of thing he'll lose sponsors over or anything. But a bit of blowback seems in order.
