No, don't stop thinking of it as spam. It is spam, and you're part of the problem. Unethical practices that work are still unethical practices.

- everdev 8y agoI don't particularly enjoy these articles, but they're hardly unethical. Saying you make X/month is very similar to splashing company logos on your homepage. Service companies typically want to try to demonstrate that they're successful to attract more clients. With startups/apps it's now popular to brag about your revenue. Keep in mind, this isn't profit, so I find the articles pretty useless. I could start a million dollar revenue company by losing money on each unit sold, but what's the point in that? (unless I'm VC-backed and have a long-term strategy for growth) When someone writes an article about how much profit they've made per month, then I'll take notice.
