What is the Slashvertisement?

• politelemon 4y ago
  Post a technical article highlighting problems with X, and as part of it, mention your product which happens to not have those problems or deals with it a certain way. So a blog post with the author advertising a product.

  I assume its like the term slashdotted which is from slashdot, in this case the headline baits you into some companies advertisement article intended to make you buy into their product. I wasnt a heavy Slashdot user I read it nearly daily until I found HN.

  A targeted form of unsolicited advertising (ie. spam).
