How We Keep The Lights On
Transparency about our revenue model
We believe in being transparent about how we sustain this platform:
When you click on certain links to businesses or products in recommendations, we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase. This doesn't cost you anything extra and helps support the platform.
We display relevant, non-intrusive ads that respect your privacy. We don't sell your personal data to advertisers.
Generous users like you help keep the platform free for everyone through voluntary donations.
We'll always be transparent about sponsored content and affiliate relationships. Your trust is more important than any commission.
