Yes, I Work at Wirecutter. No, We Don’t Get a Bunch of Free Stuff.

Walk into a party as a Wirecutter staffer, and people are never shy about throwing questions at you. Like, “Can UPF clothing really save your skin from the sun?” (Sort of.) “Should I spend money on a foot spa?” (No way, just use a bucket of warm water.) “Should I get AirPods?” (Probably not.)

We love answering these questions. But the question that we get asked the most (and often with a tinge of envy) is: “Do you get to keep all the free stuff?”

No, we do not.
