Disclosure – The Full Monty
This blog and audio content that is produced under GdayGamers.com is not primarily financially driven. I put it up in 2021 to build a community and learn from smart readers.

Ditto if I use an Amazon link that gets me 8 cents instead of an Amazon link that gets me 0 cents. If someone gives me a comfy t-shirt with a logo and I wear it in a photo, same deal. Disclaimers all over the place. This would be tedious for me and even more tedious for readers. But rules is rules.
