I dont regret having Gearline send me (free?) gear to examine & test , I paid over $90 for the Labmax test , so it was far from free , I paid for my sample . And used my phone to take pics and publish for the Meso crew to examine , wheres the crime ?
I don't know if I would characterize it as a crime but it's certainly not beneficial to anyone on Meso. The source that sends you free gear in exchange for a review will ensure the gear you get is legit and for that reason, the review will be worth NOTHING to anyone EXCEPT the source, who gets a credibility boost , and the user who gets free gear.
Reviews given for free gear are no better than sources posting their own analytical data on their products. Nobody is willing to accept that data because it's biased so why should they accept this when it's just as biased? They shouldn't.
If Flounder wants to sample strange gear , gamble his health , then give a report to the forum ,its up to him . Same with myself and same with everyone here sending money to strangers they will never meet .Someones got to test it and someones got to be the first buyer...~Ogh
That's the problem: No one is sending money, therefore, there is no buyer. Just a recipient who is now indebted to a source.
