That's why I gave 2 examples. I'm just saying there's a way to achieve a balance between making money and keeping your editorial integrity. Editors or writers aren't supposed to get paid to endorse a certain product, much more appear IN a commercial for that product. Quite honestly, advertisers should stop even attempting to do it. If the product is good, then the truth will come out. I know of a famous editor who was offered a lot of money to endorse a brand. She was made to choose between the money or her readers, and she chose the latter. The money could have taken care of her living expenses for a few years. Yes I understand that.
