Why I publish this

Transparency is not a gimmick here. It's the core mechanism. If I'm going to recommend tools and tell you what's worth buying, you deserve to see whether those recommendations are working for me financially, or whether I'm just building a content machine that doesn't practice what it preaches.

If the numbers are bad, you'll see bad numbers. That's the commitment.

The affiliate model is disclosed in full on the About page. If you want to support the experiment, use the links when you buy tools I've honestly recommended. It costs you nothing and helps keep this running.
