> There might be some honest ones out there, but they are drowned out by all the ones that are clearly just affiliat link farms. I think the most interesting part of your comment: Is how do we [objectively] classify the two? Perhaps the tendency to recommend products not recommended in spammier affiliate link farm guides is one metric that would be interesting to look at. In comparison to WC, CR is not free; but, to play devil's advocate, [why] does a guide being non-free presuppose that their reviews are of higher integrity? [In general, I don't think that it does. We just had a post about this the other day actually.] In CR's case, they've been around for decades and are independent / non-profit, so that's something. But also, I don't think longevity and the legal business entity being a non-profit are necessary preconditions to writing review guides with integrity. If we were trying to find the "CR of startups today", what would we look for?
