As Viridian points out, read Srajan's rationale for why he did it and just when he did it as it's been awhile since he's implemented it. Also, the review that's alluded to in the OPs post allowed for the manufacturer to be grandfathered in under the old policy at no cost to him. Srajan was quite eager to hear review his speaker.
Srajan just decided that's it's been going on for far too long having a small handful of manufacturers carry the weight of all the advertising. There have been multiple reviews of single makes products with no reciprocation whatsoever.
Srajan is not a trust fund kid with resources to spare. The whole gig is funded by advertising and those that do fully support his new program, all the while wondering why he didn't do it sooner as I imagine they didn't like carrying everyone's water, giving them a free ride.
All the best,
