Yes, this "business" is horrible. Advertisement in the regular mags (for example Stereophile or TAS) can be too much for some manufacturers, or they are afraid to give their units for free to some of these "reviewers" (JV from T*S is well known for this kind of additional favors..).
Some former writers  discovered very fast that the Internet gives them a chance to create a own "Magazine" (of course, only for serving the discriminated Audiophiles with real true "information"), but here we have an example how it works. You find a lot now, tone audio is such a time waster publication (from the newer ones), I don't know all, but it is more or less always the same story behind.
Those manufacturers who know this kind of game and its rules, play that game when they can afford it. Some refuse. The loser is the interested customer who wants something serious, but at the end of day it is always the same sirup (see tone audio for example - but you will find similar in Vinyl reviews for example, never read that a reissue is bad and to find bad reissues is really no big task -, no matter what nonsense they "review", it is always great, nice, recommended). Romy has written a lot of great comments about those guys, unfortunately nothing changes.
