I’m not saying it is trustworthy or that I believe them, I am saying the advertising isn’t even a little bit disguised when it is communicated directly from what is overtly a promotional channel for the company involved.
It's like calling the “9 out of 10 dentist prefer...” claim in a TV commercial “disguised advertising” and then coming back with arguments about how it isn't trustworthy reaearch wheb it is pointed out that TV commercials are openly ads. Yeah, its not trustworthy, but the fact that it is corporate promotional material and not a neutral third-party report is not at all concealed.
It is overt advertising communicated through a channel whose sole and open purpose is advertising for the company whose products it advertises.
