How we source

WhatTheyUse records what public figures have said they read, take, eat, wear and do. An entry only goes up when it links to the place they said it: a podcast episode, an interview, a video, their own book or post, or a reputable outlet quoting them directly.

Research and review

AI research assistants search for candidate items and the sources behind them. A second, automated check opens each cited page to confirm it names both the person and the item. A human editor then reviews every entry before it is published. Nothing appears on the site without that approval.

Labels

Uses it means they said they personally use it. Recommends means they told others to. Paid sponsor marks ad reads and sponsorships, and Owns / invested in brand marks commercial interests. Sponsored and owned items never count towards our rankings.

What we don't do

We don't publish rumours, private information, medical details or anything about people's children. We don't use photos of the people we cover. Supplement entries describe what someone says they take, not advice for you.

How we make money

Some product links are affiliate links, and some pages show ads. See our affiliate disclosure. Earning a commission never decides what we list.
