Reddit tells me it’s not going to make a penny in affiliates from Reddit Reviews and is working hard to avoid inauthentic content
Reddit says it will not earn affiliate revenue from purchases made through its new Reddit Reviews pages, addressing questions about the product’s buy links. It also says it is taking steps to prevent inauthentic content, though the effectiveness of those measures will only become clear as the feature is used.
The reviews draw on Redditors’ opinions and are shaped by AI into product pages that can include images, prices and purchase links. The initial rollout covers around 10,000 products for US iOS users, with plans to add more products and expand to other locations throughout 2027.
In short
- Reddit says it will take no cut from purchases via review pages.
- AI will turn Redditors’ views into product reviews.
- The US iOS rollout covers around 10,000 products.
