The Importance of Paid Reviews
Gym bags should have a dirty clothes barrier. You can pay for airtime for your talking points, but we will make it very clear that those are your talking points. There's many brands and many creators who treat the line between paid content and editorial content as either blurry or non-existent. That'll never happen here. We won't say anything that we don't in good faith.
