Affiliate marketing (semi-vent thread)

Anyone else get annoyed at all the quasi-fake reviews that get posted for dodgy/over-priced/sub quality items (that are usually bigger brand names) that you can only get on amazon etc?

Just bought something off amazon and of course various things were not true when compared to what these "reviews" were claiming on their youtube channels (inb4 lol @ trusting youtube)

These guys need to display its an affiliate market review and not bury it paragraph 10 in their youtube video description in font size 2.

Be careful out there buying items online...hard to tell what's quality and what isn't. The funny thing is i think out of everything I have ever bought online, its usually the items that get negative reviews or lesser known names that are the best products.
The real ground zero

All these no-name dropchit/generic brands have flooded the market. At this point, can't trust amazon reviews, affiliate sites (could be getting paid under the table to suggest products), youtube vids etc.
Lmao I've seen the gift card gimmick so many times now!

I was even emailed by some shady amazon company after i left a negative review to remove it and they would send me like a 50 dollar gift card

Yup all these reviews can't be trusted now. Especially affiliate marketing cause I feel like its ethically questionable practice since your not disclosing most times directly your attempting to get paid for "reviewing" this product.
