Personally, I have no issue with this whatsoever. Having been on Tom's forum since 2008, I've seen the changes that have happened for niche websites and how they can be maintained and continue to exist by some monetization.
I guess back then, sites like Tom's and Anand didn't have much by way of income. Teams made up of experts/enthusiasts, and doing the workload with little or no remuneration. But now we live in a world where everyone deserves to get paid for the work they do.
Also, it's a good little explainer. I've often checked out links to some hardware I may have been interested in, and the links would not work or deals expired. I now know (mostly) why that happens.
One favour to ask! Any chance there could be some coupons for us Europeans??

I already know the answer, but worth mentioning again.
Good work Tom's Team. Top job IMO, and for a long time too.
