Some? Probably most. The others are social media "influencers" making it look like someone would actuality want to buy it.

Don't most reviewers get their sets for free?

That depends on the company that is selling the product, and the reputation of the reviewer.

IGN always give 9/10 for every game they review so they are high on the priority list to get review copies. But they won't get any if the Developer /Producer isn't interested in giving any out.

I don't think Apple is giving away 3500 devices for free to a long list of people. Most reviews I see are reviewing based on an extended store demo.

not the freelance ones, or not always anyway. i think you’re right about the ones that wrote for tech blogs.
