What “sponsored” means here: the creator said in that video, description or article that a brand paid for, provided or gifted the item, for example a sponsor read, a paid partnership, or a review unit they kept. That deal is between the brand and the creator. No brand pays GearTube to list gear: we earn only affiliate commissions from stores, and those never decide what we list. Our disclosure.
