LOOK AT THE FIRST SENTENCE ON THE PAGE!!!

Name one thing inaccurate in my article. Happy to update it if you can!

ITS THE FIRST LINE OF THE PAGE!

Oh very interesting. I’d love to learn more — any specific thing you’d suggest I look at?

He’s not criticizing me he’s criticizing my incentives. Sure. You’re being pedantic, but sure.

I’m suggesting a more productive argument would criticize the substance of my article — not my incentives.

This is an article outlining my subjective experience. My criteria is not silly — it’s based off of my experience with Mailchimp.

I don’t want an email marking tool that:

• Charged overage fees • Uses dark patterns to charge me more

You’re suggesting a realistic outcome is people running software review sites for fun or fame?

The cheapest tool is Flodesk. Not MailerLite or Brevo.

I made a review with affiliate links.

Instead of criticizing my article, you’re criticizing me.

Does the content of my article seem dishonest?

I agree affiliate content should be read skeptically but you also have to be realistic: why would anyone go to all this work if not for some financial incentive?

Op here. I can assure this is not the case.

And it’s not as simple as cross-checking their public affiliate offers because these types of companies are always offering higher, private payouts (in exchange for editorial control).

Op here.

That’s not even true! Loops is in “the best” and if doesnt have an affiliate link.

All “the rest” have affiliate programs too… I was just lazy to sign up for them.

Not everything is a conspiracy. The reality in this case is more mundane.

This is not a universal comparison. This is the story about how I tried 25 email marketing tools. I’m sharing my subjective experience. You might be looking for something that my article doesn’t claim to offer.

That’s fair! I actually “tried” more than the “elite 6” but I eliminated many of those tools for different reasons
