I upvoted the GP because I think it&#x27;s important for content publishers to disclose who is advertising on their sites.<p>I&#x27;m glad to know Intel advertises there. It doesn&#x27;t mean the article is wrong, but it&#x27;s a data point.<p>Edit after downvotes: First, I use an adblocker, so I wouldn&#x27;t have seen the ad. So I treat it like a potential hidden conflict-of-interest.<p>Second, I think media sites should make explicit as much as possible--who advertises for them, and what influence the companies have on the media site. I&#x27;m sure they&#x27;ll claim zero. Still I want it in writing.<p>I don&#x27;t see any incentive for media sites to do that. But it&#x27;d be nice.
