In that example company A isn’t the one who sees it or gets money. It’s the third party sleep blog who you just clicked a link on for “top 5 memory foam pillows”. Now they see which one people buy most and can give that the favorable rating

Shouldn't the blog be giving the favorable rating to the pillow they think is the best, not the one that's most likely to sell through?
If I buy a memory foam pillow from company B instead of company A then I don't want company A to know at all. If I wanted company A to know then I would tell company A why I didn't purchase its product.
Maybe it was that I didn't see company A's product. Or maybe it's because company A is a piece of garbage. Maybe it's because company A employs deceptive practices and I don't want to give company A my money.
