It’s always sensible to back up statements with evidence…Here is Michael from Seals Watches confirming he paid Jody cash for a review. This was posted on his social media. This is just one of many examples…

Not sure why I don’t receive 90% of your Patreon emails 🤷🏻♂️ looks like I missed all the drama ……… said before couldn’t care less who gets paid for a review, but maybe I’m missing something from the message/reply from the guy at seals - I read it as he agreed to give Jody a free watch , I don’t see anything that says money exchange hands 🤷🏻♂️ no need to explain or show more evidence as I simply couldn’t care less and I’m not sure why you care so much 🤷🏻♂️

It’s the intentional deception that’s the problem, I have no issue with him taking payment, the issue I have is him enjoying the perception that he’s the most honest and transparent reviewer when he’s quite the opposite…and almost no one knows so I don’t think it’s old news, there are people in these threads thanking me for bringing it to their attention.

What’s the difference between taking payment or a watch. A watch has monetary value, often hundreds of pounds.
As long as an incentive for the review is declared you can take that into consideration when watching the review, and check more reviews before making an informed purchase decision. Hell, even if no incentive is declared you’d be a fool to make a purchase without checking multiple sources.
But I have to agree with GimbyDude, this is old news and not worthy of any more time.
Gary, you are good at what you do - just concentrate on doing that, leave worrying about others channels to them. Life’s too short.
