Why should you care?

The Alliance is a form of response to the all-time high number of illicit reviewers. Said reviewers and their sites work hard on producing a mass number of fake reviews – in order to create sales for companies they’re working for.

Those toys are most likely never tested, pictures are either downloaded from stock photo sites or taken from us, fellow sex bloggers. It is also most likely they reach to dishonest ways of building links or to in simpler terms, they’re using dishonest tactics to gain an unfair advantage and to appear before your eyes first.

Several problems arise from this situation.

The first problem is that they will review and try to sell you a toy that is not good. A toy that’s very often made from not body-safe materials and a toy whose quality is questionable.

The second problem is that we, folks who are really testing toys, taking pictures, and writing those reviews, don’t have a real chance and get sidelined.
