It is insane that our society considers this sort of thing as "legitimate" for a business to engage in.

- whstl 4y agoTell me about it! I think the fact this is just another "option" in an application normalizes it for users of those apps. Companies like Hubspot are not only selling software, they're also doing the marketing training for thousands of companies, so it's in their interest to say that this is entirely normal. It's similar to how it became normal for company blogs to be full of SEO spam written by underpaid content-farm workers, or even AI now. I mean, is that the kind of thing a company wanted to be associated with its image? I guess it is now... :(
