The retailer pays me a share of the sale, usually between 1 and 8 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">What that does not change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A commission never changes a verdict. The section on what does not work is never shortened, and a product that pays more is never ranked above one that works better. Sponsors do not see reviews before they are published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">How products are chosen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of what I review is bought at retail with my own money. Nothing gets written up until it has been in daily use for at least a month. If a company sent the product for free, the review says so in its first paragraph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a link or a review looks off, write to me and I will explain how it was handled. Corrections are dated and noted at the end of the post they fix.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-no-title","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-85","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.gatilab.com\/osmium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/85","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.gatilab.com\/osmium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.gatilab.com\/osmium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.gatilab.com\/osmium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.gatilab.com\/osmium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo.gatilab.com\/osmium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/85\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.gatilab.com\/osmium\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
