There is no way in hell I would spend my time writing reviews if I didn't make a fair chunk of money from my review site (and I have my doubts whether that could be done, on the same scale at least, through eg. cam or sex toy store ads or whatever else you would suggest could replace the paysite affiliate income).

That said, there are so many paysites out there - good and bad - that I have little to loose other than a few hours of my time, if I write a bad review of a site I feel deserves a bad review.

You could argue that I might also loose the money I spent joining the site (if it wasn't a request from the site owner, personally I've only taken the initiative to ask for a free pass once, and that was after encouragement to reviewers here at Netpond), but the fact is that "bad" reviews - even if I never make a single sale from those sites, and I have quite a lot of those - may end up instead increasing traffic to and sales from the sites I've (deservedly I feel) ranked higher.

Conflict of interest? Well, I guess it's hard to deny entirely, but there certainly doesn't need to be a particularly pronounced one given the example I just gave.
