@JenWojcik I understand what you write and their need for promotion (we all need livelihoods), but I'd also like to ask what someone trying to avoid marketing/adv stuff should do?
I'm personally so fed up by the constant promotions of every kind, on every media, that when I stumble an any of them it just stirs up bad feelings no matter what. Asap something new comes out it's quickly skewed to be (ab)used for advertising (I call it spam).
What are those trying to avoid all that supposed to do?
