I totally agree with that reasoning. Transparency is what matters most. I also trust you that it will not bias your writing, at least not in the sense that it could [heavily] affect the tone of the article.

But I allowed myself the stricter view/comment because over the years I have been at every level of the process. All the way from I will be stricter in reviewing this app/product to implemeting the structure in which sponsored posts were written by somebody otherwise not in our editorial team, because as you said there is no totally neutral way, right .
