Without anyone watching the Watchmen it's very easy for mods to be financially rewarded for protecting blatant adverts in posts even if it goes against a sub's guidelines.
Anyone that starts pointing this out gets shadowbanned or downvoted by the herd.
It'd be nice if we could have a happy medium it's like we can only live in extremes. On one end, we have the US, the land of patent trolls and divisions of companies suing other divisions of companies for millions and wasting years of time. On the other end, we have China where people just blatantly steal everything. Released a new successful product on Amazon? Get ready to be undercut by 50% or more by some no-name brand out of nowhere!
