Yes, but they use IMDB to sell amazon prime. Same thing with goodreads, they use it to sell books on amazon.

Did they use DPReview to sell cameras? I imagine they did, but I hadn't heard of it until today so I'm not sure.

they do have their links all over the site, so yes. Just likely not enough to justify keeping the entire site/team running it.
