I remember gaming and computer magazines from the 90s, sometimes the full page ads looked like a normal article or something that could have been part of the magazine content. So its really not new. This really upset me and if I remember such type of ads were banned in Germany (but can misremember). I hate ads that are not marked as such or can be sponsored to appear in front of everything else. It's basically pay to win.

Fuck Reddit.
