@simon I follow some people solely because they post the stuff they are doing with Raspberry Pi and Arduino.

And I know someone on @onfosec.exchange who wrote a book, I think hasn't mentioned it on Mastodon, but maybe once in a while totally should. It's a niche book of interest only to those "in the biz", and there are a lot of people who would probably want to know about it.

And I'm not against people who review things by actually building something with the product. It's easy enough to differentiate a good review and demo from an all-out sponsored advertisement.

There is a difference between sharing your productive self, and hawking on behalf of a trillion dollar organization.
