    Just like they wouldn’t the last time…and the time before that…and the time before that…

    It’s not a thing at outlets like these. Paid promo from influencers and independent reviews are not the same thing.

    That’s not paid advertising. And review scores only tend to slide by a couple of points in aggregate after everyone else gets their review in.
