I would have "closed as spam" the PR (if it’s possible) without a comment. Maybe I should be a Rust moderator… Also Rust should be way more strict on what they accept in their repos because it does not show a good image of the organization, and ultimately the language itself. IMHO this thing belongs in a blog post. Repos should be as neutral and independent as possible, especially for languages that want to be here for a long time.

Honestly I was really giving them the benefit of the doubt up until that point. The fact that they don't understand that this PR was essentially an unethical marketing stunt on their part (regardless of whether they believe in their own resources or not) is kind of sad. Even if it was a free/non-profit source of information that users could reference, the fact that they did not disclose that they are the literal CEO of the company they are promoting shows a lack of ethics.
