This is not a disclaimer. This is, in fact, the opposite of a disclaimer. It is a "claimer", if you will, claiming experience and authority on the topic.
A disclaimer is when you state a reason why people might want to discount your opinion, usually due to a conflict of interest. E.g., "I work at Revolut."
- rocketbop 4y agoYes, it's rather a source

I believe the word you both are looking for is "disclosure": https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/115850/disclaimer-vs-disclosure https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/115850/disclaime...
- greenthrow 4y agoNo, I was not looking for a different word. Yes, disclosures are one reason for a disclaimer, and the example I gave is one. But you might also do a disclaimer like "I have no first hand experience, but many friends have told me..." again, a disclaimer is exactly as I said, reasons to take the information with a grain of salt or to be aware of the limitations (e.g. legal disclaimers like on prescription medicine commercials.)
