None. I should have written '*To* someone who appears....'.

If your website is anything to go by, *you* appear in commercials
for science toys. Not as some anonymous actor, but as someone who
runs a science show and is probably known for that. There is of
course nothing wrong with that, and it certainly doesn't imply
you're dishonest. But it disqualifies you as an objective
reviewer of such products - if I were a potential consumer of
these things I would no longer trust your opinion, even if you
are an expert on these things.

Now if you care so little about your reputation, then I don't
think you are in a position to comment on anybody else's
integrity.
