Affiliate Disclosure
Last Updated: 17 April 2026
Transparency is Core to ByteLyfe.
In the spirit of full disclosure, we want you to know exactly how this website generates revenue to keep the lights on (and the Starlink active).
1. The Short Version
ByteLyfe is reader-supported. When you buy something through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. You do not pay a penny more. In fact, in some cases, our partnership might even provide you with a discount code.
2. The Long Version
ByteLyfe is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
3. How This Affects Our Content
Our editorial policy is simple: The Gear Vault is not for sale.
We review gear based on performance, reliability, and relevance to the alternative living movement. We often purchase gear at full retail price for testing. If a manufacturer sends us a product for review, we disclose that clearly at the top of the review.
Affiliate links are applied after we decide what to feature, not before. If a product is terrible for a liveaboard but great for a cabin, we tell you that.
4. The Result
Using our affiliate links is the single most effective (and free) way to support the ByteLyfe Network. It funds future build videos, flight hours for content, and server costs for this website. Thank you for being part of the crew.
