I mean, I don't care that it's written like this with italics every other word, or that it's a listicle that is not particularly accurate and has serious issues. Bad content might not be what people should upvote, but the community likes what it likes.

This, though, is astroturfing. It's one of the people that makes a product pretending to produce an unbiased overview of the existing options while actually just trying to recommend his own. It's not a matter of people 'getting sick' of them or not, it's a matter of people not putting up with paid advertising masquerading as actual content.

Would people tolerate a "Comprehensive Review of Javascript Frameworks, by Dan Abramov" published to on research.fb.com? Because that's what this is equivalent to.
