Affiliate Disclosure
How Joking Joystick distinguishes editorial advice from a commercial link.
The launch articles on Joking Joystick contain no active affiliate links. No commission is being earned from the reference links in those articles.
How future affiliate links will work
If a future page uses an affiliate relationship, the page will explain that a qualifying purchase through its links may earn Joking Joystick a commission. The disclosure should appear near the relevant recommendation or links so readers can understand the relationship before acting.
A paid relationship must not be hidden behind a vague button or left for readers to infer from this general policy alone. The FTC’s endorsement guidance emphasizes clear disclosure of material relationships. Appropriate link attributes will also be used, but technical attributes are not a substitute for a visible explanation.
Editorial standards still apply
A commission does not justify invented testing, an unsupported claim, or an undisclosed favorable conclusion. Research-based advice should say what evidence supports it. Hands-on claims require actual testing, and supplied products or sponsorships should be identified.
Prices and availability at external sellers may change. Check the seller’s current terms and the exact item before buying. Our guides are designed to explain a decision, and they do not guarantee the performance or authenticity of an item supplied by another party.
