Evidence for this? Is it just for stuff specifically tagged as paid content, or is there any evidence that their standard reviews might be tainted by money?
- lr4444lr 5y agoAffiliate link revenue model: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirecutter_(website) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wirecutter_(website) They claim the reviewers go in neutral, but I'm sorry, I just don't trust it. Thr fact that they only test a subset of products in a given competitive space alone makes this too tainted for my liking. (CR also doesn't hit every company in a space, but at least they're not incentivized to pick the ones that pay them.)
