Plenty of paid content on the mattress subs and I'm sure many others

Yes but easier to navigate. It’s obviously the red queen hypothesis of a never ending game between marketers and users looking for unadulterated information.

Rule of thumb: if they advertise on podcasts, they're astroturfing on Reddit too.

Friendly reminder that this isn't reddit, and responding like it is won't improve this sites health.

Refute the opinion, or add something of value, instead of simply sneering.
