Numerous schools of thought here BUT setting the “arbitrary” line for “shilling” at specific brands does have the benefit of helping to remove astroturfing.

The skincare subreddit and cerave come to mind.

With vpns you can at least talk about the technology and benefits of protocols and whatnot so that people know what to look for in a company.

This is of course me taking the most open minded stance I can wrt their rules
