“Just to be up front I was sent this product free of charge for review. No money has exchanged hands and the company doesn’t get to review my video before I upload. “
So, if you write them a bad review are they going to send you one next time?
If they make a bad product do you want more of it, even for free?
Like, reviewers get to the point where companies send them free product for review from a long period of legitimate reviews that get them a large enough audience. It’s unlikely they’re getting their main profits from free products sent.
Obviously you shouldn’t take a single person’s review as gospel anyway, but just them getting a review copy of a thing isn’t a sole reason to discredit their opinion.
Untrustworthy. Real reviewers buy the product. If you are reliant on companies to send you product to review then you cannot be impartial.

I more meant if you require companies to send you goods to review for your business to work, then you can’t be impartial.
As long as I have seen a reviewer shit on a free product at some point, I’m fine with it. Otherwise I agree.
