I agree. I didn't even include the "unbiased discount" footnote/disclaimer in my "unbiased" reviews because I didn't want it to hurt my own personal credibility as a reviewer. My partners-in-crime actually really appreciated that omission.
I read this a few times and couldn't quite parse it. Are your unbiased reviews the ones for which you weren't offered the product (eg, paid full price)? Or are you saying even your discount/freebie reviews are unbiased? Who are your partners in crime? The sellers?
I read it as there was a time before he tried for top reviewer when his reviews were unbiased (meaning the free items were the unbiased), and the sellers were the partners in crime.
