Those "Action figure news" sites are businesses, made by people who are most likely 'fans', but they're not really 'hobby sites' that someone threw together for fun. so I can understand where they're coming from. but I wonder when a 'fan' submits news, are they compensated for the content they're providing which in turn generates revenue for the business.
I think a lot of these sites are owned by the same guy or company. Looks like they have the same sponsors, and affiliate links on them. Unless they're on the same affiliate network. I wonder how much money these action figure news sites can make anyway. My google ads make about 25 cents a day lol.
