Sorry, missed this response the first time around. I can mostly agree with this stance, I just want gifts/perks/etc. to be disclosed so that I, the consumer, can better evaluate the reviewer's opinion.
And yes, there are ways to avoid the necessary disclosures. But much of the time someone eventually catches on, or you get sloppy, and if it turns out that your borderline case falls on the wrong end of the border you'll have to pay for your cleverness. I see no problems with this system. Shoot, it keeps me employed...
