The Manifesto

We didn't choose affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing chose us.

Actually, that's not true. We chose it deliberately after discovering you can make $0.75 every time someone buys a Squatty Potty. That kind of money changes a person.

Other affiliate sites are ashamed of what they are. They call themselves “buying guides” and “trusted resources” and bury their disclosures in font sizes that require a magnifying glass. We find this dishonest and, frankly, embarrassing.

We are an Amazon affiliate site. When you click our links and buy things, Amazon gives us a small percentage of the sale price. How small? On a ~$25 Squatty Potty, that's roughly $0.75. We are aware that this is not a lot of money. We are not in this for the money. We are in this because the products deserve to be seen, the people deserve to be informed, and the commission structure, while modest, is technically non-zero.

Our editorial standards are simple: every product on this site must be genuinely interesting, surprisingly useful, or so absurd that its existence demands acknowledgment. We do not recommend things we wouldn't buy ourselves. We do not recommend things ironically. We recommend things with the full weight of our institutional authority, which, as of this writing, consists of one website and a modest Instagram following.

We have a newsletter. It is free. It comes on Sundays. It contains products and our thoughts about those products. Some people have said it is the best part of their week. Those people may need to get out more, but we appreciate them.

Some people ask why we do this. The answer is that someone has to be the best Amazon affiliate site ever, and every single other person on the internet lacked the vision. We saw the gap. We filled it. You're welcome.

We are the Best Amazon Affiliate Ever. This is not a claim. It is a fact. It is also the name of the website, which we feel lends it additional credibility.
