Well if you're asking for a product recommendation you're literally asking to be advertised to, so.... I guess you get what you want?

An ad and an unbiased product recommendation are basically at the opposite ends of the reliability spectrum.

I think it’s a perfectly viable business model, it’s just they may lose some users who prefer accuracy/unbias over convenience

I can't wait for the fines to be handed out for unmarked adverts haha

Every new media format seems to have to learn these things themselves, often in order:

1. Turns out you need moderation

2. Don't poke the RIAA. If you wake them up everyone is getting sued.

3. Adverts need to be made clear they're adverts
