No More Fake Reviews - So Who’s Gonna Tell Us What To Buy?


Very interesting and with a fairly profound impact on our audiophile community:

Some strong language in the ruling. How are some of our YouTubers going to be able to sustain their channels without gifted products?

The rules sound reasonable and could cause problems for reviewers who get free gear or music in return for a good review.  We'll just have to see how it plays out in the audiophile world.

Reviewers have been getting free gear and accommodation pricing forever.  I don't expect that to change at all.
