When a third-party summary disagrees with the network, we print what the network says. What it is like to sell there comes from vendors who have done it for years, in public threads and reviews. We do not run paid campaigns on the networks we cover, and no page claims we did. Some links earn us a commission; that never moves a network up the list.
