/c/HailCorporate is to document times when people act as unwitting advertisers for a product as well as to document what appear to be legitimate adverts via native advertising.

What acts as an ad, is an ad, no matter if it was put there sneakily or because someone has become inured to a brand so far that they don't even know they are a walking ad.

We have strict "Don't be a jerk" rules that are enforced with immediate banning. The guidelines are more likely to result in a post removal or warning, but breaking them could result in a ban.

It's a link to a press release in a community related to exactly one company's product... That's just straight from the source news.

A press release is NOT news.

It's something put out by an organization that they would like presented on the news but it is not at all vetted information.

A community dedicated to one company's products is pretty hail corporate to me ngl
