Sponsored Content Policy

Effective July 27, 2026

Some placements on this site are paid. We label every one of them “Sponsored” right where it appears, not just here. We only accept sponsors that pass the same test we apply to our own recommendations: nothing the book itself warns against.

What sponsored content looks like

A sponsored placement is a distinct, bordered unit — never styled to look like the chapter text around it. It carries a “Sponsored” tag and a short line explaining who paid to appear there, placed inside the unit itself, next to the content it governs.

Our standard for sponsors

We apply the same editorial rule to paid placements that we apply to everything else on this site: nothing appears here that the book itself warns against. No daily-payment products. No sales pitches disguised as advice.

What we cap

We limit commercial content to one unit visible per screen and two per chapter, so a sponsor’s placement is never stacked next to several others, and reading is never interrupted more than the template allows.

Unsold placements

When a placement isn’t sold, it shows a free resource instead (like the Toolkit) in the identical shape — with no “Sponsored” label, because it isn’t paid content.
