I have spend close to 1000$ in the last month on nootropics from nootropicsdepot and I will probably continue to do so since I am absolutely amazed with the quality of the products and the customer service.
The only reason I (and probably many others) became interested in this company were the videos by TheNootropicReviewer.
I feel like it is utterly unfair that he doesn't get anything out of it considering the revenue that he brings to ND. Even if he can't be an official affiliate due to legal reasons (MYASD mentioned that it is due to him talking about anxiety and depression) there still should be a way for ND to reward him. This only seems fair.

How does the ND subreddit figure into this? Are statements made here by third parties considered "marketing statements" or are you in the clear as it is a third party site?
Does having editorial control (Mod ability) of a third-party site transform it into one of your own?
And how about products sold on Amazon? Are the reviews there considered your statements?
And thank you so much for fighting the good fight and doing things right.

This is not our site, and people are free to discuss things within the bounds of Reddit's rules, so it is different here. It's more of a forum. You will often see me not participating in certain discussions, though. The same goes for my team. If someone asks how to treat their ADHD, I will tell them to speak to a doctor and that I can't really give suggestions. Other people are free to discuss things with them, though. Also, my team and I will stay out of many posts altogether if we can't really discuss the topic at hand without adding legal risk. If other people want to openly discuss things in the forum, that's a separate thing from our marketing statements. If I were to make a post about treating ADHD with our products, that would be at/over the line, though. Amazon is a different beast because we don't control what is posted on there. The same goes for Google customer reviews. We can't control what is posted on there, so it can't be construed as our marketing statements. It's not a clear line, just like everything else in our legal system. It's always more complicated than is seems at first, and it takes many discussions with lawyers to get an idea of things. Even then, those are just the legal opinions of those lawyers. That doesn't mean they can't be proven wrong in court.
