I read this review about reviewers

An interesting take on what's happening in the industry today.
It was Simon Price's personal experience, but I wonder if it's happening more often than not?

The writer comes off as a cry baby with an overinflated sense of self-importance. While his article increased awareness about the speakers, so does word of mouth and posts on forums like this one.  He dismisses the dealers as merely conduits but only a novice or a fool would buy a speaker based on one review.  On the flip side of his argument, what does he do after giving a product a poor or luke warm review, does he send money to the company for their loss of sales?  He mentions 6moons, but they have a firmly established and communicated business model crafted for reasons they clearly explain to their readers.  He should develop his own business model, give it a spin, and find out if it works....just like any other business, instead of acting like a charity that isn’t receiving enough donations.


BINGO! We have a winner! Cannot be improved upon! Congratulations! Cheers! Well done!   


Speakers arrive, nothing agreed to before hand. Free speakers? Does he get to keep them? Doesn’t say. Twisted reasoning too. On the one hand he’s a reviewer, so don’t change a word. But then he’s also performing a service for payment. Even though nothing was agreed to before hand.

If this really is the state of the business today, people putting in all kinds of time and effort with no guarantees, then turning around crying why they didn’t get paid the pay they never asked to get paid, wow its lucky anything ever gets made.

On the other hand where’s my free speakers? This guy’s whining about a week? I put in three months!
