> Why can't every VPN review site say the same thing? Serious review sites don't accept sponsorships. This one does. Should it be taken seriously? I don't take it seriously.
1. We currently get _no_ money from _any_ VPN provider (our site makes other recommendations too that are not related to VPN services), our finances are very transparent:
2. Being a part of the sponsorship program does not get you on the website, you must still meet the criteria which a VPN provider could do for free (so there's no incentive for them to pay us anything).
3. We don't use referral links
4. No single member of the team can add/remove things (everything is also logged in git commit logs). Pull requests also require more than 2 members to sign off. Technically jonaharagon as owner could add things, but it would be pretty suspicious if new VPN providers started appearing without any discussion.... lol. I know I'd be asking questions.
