In this video, I tackle a topic that quietly sits underneath a huge amount of modern hobby content: free review products. Since starting this channel, I’ve been offered rulebooks, miniatures, tools, paints, and even 3D printers in exchange for “impartial” reviews. Some of those offers made sense, many didn’t, and most were politely declined.
