I just assume that any time any product is promoted, that the person is a potential shill. It may be a cynical view, but I find it a cleaner metric than trusting the poster to disclose whether they are getting compensated for mentioning a product.

- malandrew 5y ago> They dont make assumptions about anything unless its in the rule book, as a rule. I'm curious. Is this in any German rulebook? (I secretly want it to be).
- dathinab 5y agoThe secret rule book was lost during WW1 which is why thinks went so out of hand afterwards. (Sorry for the bad joke, but as a German the though that there is a secret rule book which was lost in WW1 had me rolling, I just have no idea why??) > Is this in any German rulebook? Idk. but I feel that: - State organs often act as if it's the case. - Politicians often do some many (bad/wrong) assumptions hat I feel it would be better if it would be the case.

- ramoz 5y agoSure, but there are many people/followers who are new to some industry/products. I mean Im the same way, but have recently gotten into a new hobby where I was searching a bit to figure out my "first purchase." It was hard to find genuine content/reviews/suggestions. It's easy to stay clear of the affiliate/SEO sites, but it's really hard to parse what is sponsored or not in expert/influencer content.
