>It is getting increasingly difficult to guage what's native advertisment and what's not. It is not just social media or e-commerce websites but the enthusiast blogs, review sites, and YouTube channels doing sutble paid pieces. It's getting even tougher to find reviews of uncommon products. I had a family member ask me suggestions for a car DVD player. I got a fair amount of hits for different brands and players, but when I looked for reviews on these products outside of commerce sites, they were all lists with affiliate links with little blurbs likes, "10 in screens, 6 hours of battery life, headphone jack, and plays media via USB." Gee, thanks for the product description.
