You don't think someone providing a free service should receive compensation? I would gladly give them their cut for a useful service. This isn't some shady website writing bogus blogposts or best of listicles.

Absolutely not! That would be an oxymoron. Someone providing a service is entitled to seek compensation; the amount and means of compensation should be listed clearly next to the service. But it ain't free.

Would you have paid to read these reviews in the first place?

It's an LLC not a charity.

How about they follow the (GDPR and affiliate marketing and opt-in) rules like everyone else has to?

GPDR is about private data, how does a static affiliate link breaches private data?
