Write for WhatPeopleUse
We pay developers, researchers, and tech enthusiasts for honest, real-world gear picks and tool guides.
Our Editorial Standard
Most tech roundups are low-effort SEO games or thinly veiled ads written by people who never used the gear. WhatPeopleUse answers the exact question readers search: what does this person or professional actually use, and is it worth buying?
✓ What We Love
- • Direct firsthand experience with the gear or software
- • Concrete pros, cons, and who it is actually for
- • Specific setups (e.g. “What Mic Does X Use?”)
- • Verifiable public source links for all factual claims
✕ What We Reject
- • Unedited AI-generated text or generic re-writes
- • Undisclosed brand promotions or covert PR pitches
- • Thin listicles without real testing or sources
- • Unsubstantiated claims about creator setups
