Fixynest is an editorial publication, not a news aggregator and not a content farm. We have a small number of rules that we apply to every piece we publish. This page documents those rules.
Independence
Our editorial decisions are made independently of any commercial relationship. We do not accept payment for coverage. We do not let advertisers preview articles. We do not adjust the tone of a review to favor a brand that runs ads on the site. If a fix we publish damages a manufacturer’s reputation, that is the manufacturer’s problem to address, not ours to soften.
Reproduction before publication
Every troubleshooting guide on Fixynest is based on a real reproduction of the failure described. We pair the gear ourselves, recreate the conditions, observe the symptom, and verify that the fix we publish actually resolves the symptom. If we cannot reproduce a reported failure, we do not publish a guide about it.
For older guides that we cannot easily re-test, we mark them with the last verified date. If you see a guide that says it was last verified more than six months ago, treat it as historical rather than current.
Sources
We primarily source our information from three places: our own hands-on testing, primary manufacturer documentation (release notes, developer docs, hub firmware changelogs), and direct contributions from readers who have run the same fix on their own setup. We do not source from generic content sites that exist only to rank in search results.
When we quote a manufacturer or cite a specific firmware version, we link to the source where one exists.
Editing process
Every article is written by one editor and reviewed by at least one other before publication. The reviewer checks the technical accuracy of the steps, confirms that the symptoms described match the platform behavior the article addresses, and looks for ambiguity that a confused reader might trip on.
We do not use generative AI to write articles. We use it only for narrowly limited tasks, such as drafting a list of related sub-questions to consider, or checking grammar after a piece is otherwise finished. Every published sentence is written by a human who has the byline on the piece.
Corrections
If we publish something wrong, we fix it. Corrections are made by editing the article and appending a dated correction note at the bottom of the piece. We do not silently rewrite history.
If you find a correction we should make, send it to [email protected]. We acknowledge all correction requests, even those we ultimately do not act on.
Anonymity
We do not publish anonymously. Every byline is a real person. We do publish under a single contributor when an article is researched by a small team, with secondary editors named in the masthead rather than on the article.
Comments and community
Comments are moderated. We approve substantive comments quickly. We remove spam, personal attacks, and comments that contribute nothing to the troubleshooting conversation. Disagreement with the article is welcome and often surfaces additional fixes that we then incorporate into the piece.
Funding
The site is funded by display advertising and affiliate revenue. See our affiliate disclosure for details. Funding sources do not influence editorial content. If they ever did, we would say so clearly on the affected articles, but they do not.
