About
What this site does
Worth or Skip reviews products sold through affiliate platforms and answers the narrow question a buyer actually has: given what you need it for, is this specific thing worth your money?
The search results for that question are dominated by pages that structurally cannot say no. A site that earns a commission on every recommendation and has never told you not to buy something has already told you what it is.
So this one says “not worth buying” in plain words, including about products that pay well. That is the whole proposition. Everything else here is layout.
How we work
We read what dozens of real buyers got — with outcome and date — instead of resting a conclusion on one tester’s afternoon. We follow the checkout and read the price where it is actually charged. We verify the guarantee and the seller’s public record. And every review names who the product is not for, because a product that fits everybody fits nobody. The full process, including what we deliberately do not do, is on the Methodology page.
When we buy and use a product ourselves, the review says so, plainly. When we did not, it says that too — the conclusion then rests on documented public evidence, and the review shows you which.
Who edits this
Roberto Oliveira, editor. He also edits Filtro Sincero, a Brazilian review site built on the same rule this one is, and Leitura Singular, a Portuguese-language publication on finance and technology. Same standard in all three: primary source over press release, dated number over adjective, public correction of our own errors.
That is worth saying out loud, because most pages answering “is this worth it?” are written by nobody in particular — an agency byline, a rotating freelancer, or no name at all. A byline that resolves to a real person with a checkable record is the difference between a review and an advertisement in a review’s clothes.
Worth or Skip is not a translation
Not one article, not one section, not one paragraph is carried over from the sister sites. Different market, different products, different research, written from scratch in English.
We state that publicly because it is a commitment we intend to be held to — a site that recycles another site’s content in a second language is doing something we would call out if someone else did it.
How the site pays for itself
Affiliate commissions. Some links here earn money when you buy through them, at no extra cost to you. That is disclosed at the top of every page carrying such a link, and explained in full on the Affiliate Disclosure page.
The commission does not touch the recommendation, and the thing that keeps that true is not anybody’s good character. It is structural: the “Who it’s NOT for” section is mandatory in every review, the disclosure is printed by the template rather than remembered by an editor, and a product we do not recommend carries no buy link at all — it points you at a reviewed alternative instead. That is checkable on any page, and you should check it.
This site does not depend on commissions to exist. That is precisely why we can say, without flinching, when something is not worth buying.
What we are not
We are not lawyers, accountants, or licensed financial advisers. Where a decision needs one of those, the review says so and says when to go and get one.
What we are is an editorial desk that reads the documentation, cross-checks the vendor’s claims against primary sources, dates everything, and writes it in plain English.
Corrections
We will get things wrong. When we do, we want it fixed and we want the fix to be visible.
Reviews carry a last checked date, and material corrections are noted in the page rather than quietly edited out. A review that has silently flipped its conclusion is one you cannot trust in either direction. If you find an error, tell us: Contact.
