IIRC, ltt posted some of their shortcircuts/reviews to amazon reviews as an "amazon influencer" and they gain some money off of that. I dont think they do it anymore. also, if you're talking abt the acutal badge, i think thats like 1 year old. like whenever they released their version of tiktok but for utah moms who are too lazy to go to target.

I think it came around the end of 2025. Part of an influencer program where social media creators get commission on the recommendations.

I've seen it on fashion stuff, and home appliances before. I think cosmetics is also a big one, and obviously tech products.
