And there is nothing wrong with being honest that that is what you're doing and getting compensated for. Despite all of it's grey flannel wackiness, it's really a good thing for both manufacturers and customers IMHO.
I've been reading "reviews" for audio gear since the early 70's and taken altogether they are asymptotically close to useless other than for entertainment and being aware that the product exists. But that's enough for me...

I've always felt the exact same way. That's why I love sites like uncrate.com. No reviews. Just "Hey, check tis out! Here's what it is, here's what it costs, and here's where you can get it!"
I disagree. A really good observational reviewer can provide you with quite a lot of insight as to what adding the particular piece of gear to your system will do...without you having to buy it first to find out.
However, that reviewer has to be honest (missing sometimes) and truly critical (missing in 99% of all hifi reviews) in order to really give the benefit to the reader.
