GoatCounter

This site uses a self-hosted instance of GoatCounter for site analytics. It does not use cookies or attempt to identify individual visitors. The stats are publicly viewable at stats.adamslab.io, and what you see there is not sanitized; it is essentially the same information I can see, although the public view is only updated once an hour.

GoatCounter stats may include the date and time of your visit, your public IP address, browser, pages visited, language, location (country), and screen size. GoatCounter analytics data is retained effectively indefinitely and is only purged when storage requirements make doing so necessary.

Reviews, Collaborations, and Ad Policy - Ethical Guidelines

READ THIS SECTION IN ITS ENTIRETY IF YOU INTEND TO CONTACT ME FOR A REVIEW, COLLABORATION, OR AD. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN YOUR COMMUNICATION BEING IGNORED.

Review Policy

I believe that integrity in reviews requires complete independence from the companies whose products are being reviewed.

What Is a “Review”?

For the purposes of this policy, a review is any examination or analysis of a product or service intended to be understood as an objective evaluation. If I make a video or post where the goal is to inform people of a product’s merits, flaws, or performance, that’s a review.

In contrast, “mentions” or “features” are not reviews. These are ads: attempts to draw attention to a product, often in a flattering light. Calling this kind of content a “review” is dishonest. It’s just putting lipstick on a pig.

To maintain this standard of independence, I follow these principles:

In short: if I didn’t buy it with my own money, I won’t review it.

The popular “influencer” mantra:

“XYZ company sent me this for free, but I’m not being paid and they have no editorial control…”

That’s still a paid promotion. The creator was compensated with a product that has real monetary value. If you rely on free products to make content, your objectivity is already compromised, whether you realize it or not.

Even if you disclose it, the relationship itself undermines trust. You’re unlikely to bite the hand that feeds you.

What If You Want to Send Me Something?

You’re welcome to send me your product(s) under the following conditions:

Shipping address: 4550 SW Betts Ave. #931 Beaverton, OR 97005

Collaborations & Ads

I’m open to advertising your product or service with full transparency and strict separation from editorial content.

Here are my baseline terms:

Affiliate links can be a useful way to share products I’ve actually used and recommend, but they’re still incentivized.

Where I stand:

Disclosures & Transparency

Additional Notes

#### FTC Compliance  

I follow the FTC Endorsement Guidelines, which require clear disclosure of material relationships, including free products, sponsorships, affiliate links, or any other financial connection.

AI & Synthetic Content

I do not use AI to generate product reviews, fake endorsements, promotional material, or original written content.

I do use AI to review documents for spelling, grammar, and clarity, including scripts, website content, and similar material. I may also use AI to reword or rephrase something I have written, but the original content is, and always will be, written by me.

I also use AI coding tools to “vibe code” when needed and will always disclose which portions of the code were generated by AI.

If I ever publish content that was, in whole or in part, generated by AI, I will disclose that fact as clearly and prominently as is reasonably practicable.
