Are you really that high? Or did Samsung sponsor that? Please don't mod me as a troll, have some common sense!

I can vouch for that, I signed up for a cash for review service, I get $2 for making positive Android reviews and occasional $3 for Samsung reviews. It pays similar to how bulk email spamming pays, course that's like 25 cents per hundred thousand or more depending on product being spammed.
if people are interested here is a "top 12 list" of companies that will pay you to review products, apps, os, etc.

every review either video, or written product review you post link, it gets verified and part of your account stats,
most places works similar to adsense on payouts. minimum of $100.00 in the account and they'll either send a check or direct deposit into paypal for you.
I get about $30-$50 from reviews to paypal, and I use that money to pay for my pc gaming wants :P

couple hours of bullshit reviews for 'free money', most half smart people should realize that online reviews are all bullshit.
even movie critic reviews online like tgwtg website is all bullshit, cause it's all paid for work. Either for sites like tgwtg is ad based revenue and some product reviews from other contributors to crappy blog sites that get paid to write written reviews for products...
the biggest thing any sane person should know is do not trust ANY online review. most are paid for and most are bullshit
Yep, Amazon allows reviews without prior purchase. It's why there's a whole load of book reviews from people who never read the things, some of whom readily admit to this. It's more common on controversial topics.

It does look like they're starting to mend their ways on that. The One's source is already out with the actual device still more than a week away.
