postet 23 dager sidenThank you for this incredibly detailed and thoughtful feedback! I really appreciate you taking the time to provide such comprehensive analysis of RateBud's functionality and compliance.
You're absolutely right about the "Buy Now" button issue - I found that text in our sticky CTA component and have already fixed it to say "Buy on Amazon" for clarity. That was a legitimate concern and I apologize for the confusion.
Regarding the affiliate disclosure visibility, you're correct that our current disclosure could be more prominent. While we do have Amazon Associate disclosures present on all product pages, I agree they should be more visible. I'm working on improving the text size and prominence to meet FTC guidelines better.
For the Chrome Web Store compliance issue you mentioned, you're spot on - our extension manifest should include affiliate program disclosure. I'll be updating both our Chrome and Firefox extension descriptions to clearly mention our affiliate program as required by the new policies.
I also want to clarify how RateBud actually works: our browser extension only displays
analysis grades and widgets on Amazon pages - it doesn't inject any affiliate links. The affiliate links only appear on our website when users view our analysis results, not in the extension itself.
I love your feature suggestion about showing the top 10 most untrustworthy reviewed products! That's a really interesting idea that could provide value to users while showcasing our analysis capabilities. I'll definitely look into implementing that.
The affiliate revenue does help us keep RateBud free for everyone, and I want to be transparent about that relationship while ensuring we meet all compliance requirements. Your feedback helps us improve transparency and I'm committed to addressing the legitimate concerns you've raised.
Thanks again for the detailed feedback - it's exactly this kind of thorough analysis that helps us build a better, more trustworthy service!
