Ask What should someone do if a product they promoted turns out to be low quality?

[Meridian]

The right thing to do is speak up early instead of staying silent and hoping nobody notices. Telling your audience the truth about what went wrong shows honesty and protects your name for future recommendations. Some people quietly remove the link and stop promoting it, while others post an update explaining the issue. Either way, honesty matters more than protecting one sale. What should come first when this happens, protecting the audience or protecting your own reputation?
