I'm not so sure that detracts from their reputability, does Rtings seem less reputable because affiliate revenue is part of their income?

- cheeze 3y agoA bit, yes. Rtings has a vested interest to not cover a product that is sold, say, direct to consumer rather than via Amazon affiliate. I still trust Rtings and love the website, but yeah it's totally possible that at some point they leave out a product because no revenue. I think the hit to their rep would be too big so they wouldn't, but it's always possible.
- RockRobotRock 3y agoYes, 100%.
- brookst 3y agoTo a degree, yes. And if the products they were covering were illegal, it would not be at all surprising to see them busted for reviews and affiliate links. I think you’re truing to split hairs on what “reputable” means maybe?
