I mean it’s there job, so they have an interest. Not much different from all these instagram and youtubers pushing their content. You know it, so it’s easy to just not click.
If I had a company I would try to get my products viewed by as many people as possible. As long as there is no trickery, I have no issues at all.
You are being sold something virtually everywhere in your life. As a scientist, I live my life as a skeptic and always think about it through that lens. Do my own research and buy if I think it’s worth it or sometimes just because I want to.

I agree with this, but that is what the Vendor section of the forum is for. If he was in that section, I doubt anyone would even mention it. But he's not, and that's one of the issues being raised here.
