Unsolicited Arc's (which review sites get tons of) are different than when they're specifically offered by authors in exchange for a review. IMO if an author is offering an Arc specifically in exchange for a review, and I request one based on that, then I've entered an agreement with them to fulfill that condition when at all possible. If I don't want/plan to meet that condition then don't request the Arc. Not that I've ever requested an Arc that way. I have gotten a few in contests and those I've felt no obligation to read or review.
