I don't disagree, but there's another side to this. It's happened in print for years - a review in June, a double page spread ad in July. But it damages editorial integrity and it dilutes genuine content. In print this doesn't really matter - there are huge barriers to entry, and newcomers are more likely than anyone to do it to make it easier to score revenue. Online though, if I suspect that [blognamehere] are plugging something shit for profit I'll just go elsewhere for my news. It doesn't cost me a penny, and there are infinite other options.
