We made this video because we keep getting the same comments: “This is an ad,” “you’re biased,” “software is too expensive,” and of course… “Notion failed you.” So we sat down and answered the biggest questions we’ve gotten since starting the channel. The headline: we don’t do sponsored content by design. If a company pays you, they usually want you to speak in their words and get approval before it goes live. That’s a conflict of interest for software reviews, so we stay independent and only use affiliate links (no upfront payment, no script, no approvals). We also talk about pricing reality for business software (if you’re running a real business, spending ~3–5% of revenue on tools is normal; tech can be higher), why we’re “anti-productivity” in the sense that constantly switching tools is just dopamine, and why all-in-one tools usually disappoint once you’re actually inside the product. We share how we split roles (Alex runs the site/product, Andra runs YouTube/content), how we handle comments (we reply ourselves—sometimes I’ll use AI to shorten what I wrote, not replace it), and how investing actually works (we only invest after we’re users, and access is the hard part).
