Stealth advertising

As a consumer I try to be very selective about what companies I trust for results and value. It's hard enough making this decision with the abundance of reputable comanies that advertise on this board. The last thing I want to deal with is some of the stealth advertising I am seeing lately where a new member posts a vague question about a product or substance in a delibirate and insidious attempt to generate curiousity about the product. This not only pisses me off as a consumer but causes me to intentionally steer clear of that company.

If your product is that good why not sign up as a sponsor, provide samples, and put your supps where your mouth is.:FUfinger:

I was thinking the kind they use for movies that's made out of sugar like substance so actors dont cut themselves.... maybe it's made with splenda...

It's called viral marketing or shilling. It's concept is nothing new but it is particularly effective especially with the advent of internet. One is thus forced to view posts with a certain degree of suspicion and it surely lessens the importance of anecdotal feedback.

I do not believe it's a matter of sponsorship as those who do can easily partake in this as well. In fact they may have more avenues available to them, though I'm certainly not insinuating that such practices take place.
