SubInsider currently runs no advertising, no affiliate links and no sponsored content. We earn nothing from the monitors, brands or accessories we discuss. This page explains how the site is funded and what will happen if that ever changes.
Current status
Transparency matters, so here is exactly where things stand today.
- No ads: we do not show display advertising of any kind.
- No affiliate links: links to retailers or manufacturers, where they appear, do not earn us a commission.
- No sponsored content: no brand has paid for a guide, a mention or a position in a list.
- No free products in exchange for coverage: we do not accept products on the condition that we write about them.
Brand mentions are not paid
Our guides name brands and models when it helps you understand a feature, a fault or a setting. A guide about dead pixels on an AOC monitor or the color settings of a specific MSI model exists because people search for those answers.
No brand pays to be mentioned, and a mention is not an endorsement. When we say whether a brand is a good choice, that view comes from our own research.
Editorial independence
SubInsider is not affiliated with any monitor manufacturer, retailer or distributor. Brands do not see, approve or edit our guides before they are published.
The SubInsider Editorial Team decides what to cover based on the questions readers ask, not on commercial relationships. Our editorial policy explains how we research, write and review every guide.
If that changes
We may add display advertising or affiliate links in the future to help cover the cost of running the site. If we do, we commit to the following:
- We will update this page before anything goes live.
- Sponsored content, if we ever publish it, will be clearly labeled as sponsored.
- Pages with affiliate links will say so, and those links may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you.
- Commissions and advertising will never influence our verdicts or which products we cover.
Any change would also be reflected in our privacy policy where it affects your data.
