How Patch Crew earns revenue
Patch Crew LLC (“Patch Crew,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) believes people should understand when money, free products, or business relationships may influence—or appear to influence—what they see. We may earn revenue from digital products, voluntary support, affiliate commissions, sponsorships, and other clearly identified partnerships. These relationships help fund Patch Crew but do not purchase a favorable opinion.
Affiliate links
Some Patch Crew pages, Patch Picks, newsletters, and social posts may contain links that earn Patch Crew a commission when you make a purchase, at no additional cost to you. We place a clear disclosure close to the relevant recommendation or link so you can evaluate it before acting.
Patch Crew may participate in affiliate programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. As an Amazon Associate, Patch Crew earns from qualifying purchases. Program participation, commission rates, prices, and availability may change without notice.
This page provides a site-wide explanation, but it does not replace a disclosure where the material relationship appears. Labels such as “Paid link,” “Patch Crew may earn a commission,” “Sponsored,” or another clear statement may be used depending on the relationship.
Reviews and recommendations
Patch Crew aims to recommend products, services, tools, and resources based on honest editorial judgment and their potential usefulness to our audience. We do not accept payment in exchange for a positive review or guaranteed placement. A recommendation is not a promise that a product will suit every person, and you remain responsible for evaluating price, safety, fit, and third-party terms.
Products and support
Patch Crew may sell digital products through Gumroad and accept voluntary support through Stripe. Product revenue and support help fund Patches, Patch Notes, tools, and educational resources. Unless clearly stated otherwise, purchasing or supporting Patch Crew does not create editorial control, ownership, or a right to influence recommendations.
Sponsored content
Patch Crew may publish sponsored content, accept a free product, or enter another paid relationship. When a connection could affect how reasonable people evaluate the content, we identify it clearly and close to the relevant endorsement. Sponsors and partners do not receive advance approval over Patch Crew’s conclusions unless a different arrangement is expressly disclosed.
AI-assisted images and creative tools
Patch Crew may use AI-assisted tools to help create visual assets, characters, drafts, or other creative elements. Jeff directs, reviews, edits, and approves final published work. When an AI-related relationship is sponsored or otherwise material, it is disclosed under the same standards described on this page.
Relationship to other policies
This Disclosure Statement supplements Patch Crew’s Terms of Use and should be read with the Privacy Policy and Disclaimer. The Terms of Use govern where these documents overlap. We may update this statement as our products, partnerships, or legal obligations change.
