Spam article ... maybe

This one from 2017 was published, but looks like blatant advertising. Non-clickable until other opinions taken. https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1166260/The-Secret-to-Success-on-IoT-for-Business

Many of his other articles are marked as "sponsor article" but there was a time where the marking of "sponsor" got buggy an many non-sponsored articles were published with it. I think the best is to ask @Sean-Ewington or @Chris-Maunder on this one and see what they say.

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

This article, in fact most if not all of their articles have

Quote:

This article is a sponsored article. Articles such as these are intended to provide you with information on products and services that we consider useful and of value to developers

What is not clear is who thinks the information is useful - the OP (in which case this stinks of spam) or CP - in which case @sean-ewington, do you have a view?

snap! Sorry for the overlap

Even though it has the "sponsored" sentence at the beginning, it looks a bit suspect.

Agreed.

It is blatant advertising, but it is paid blatant advertising, so it is A-OK. It's actually one of the things I tell people who try to advertise for free, provided they come from a company that might be able to buy sponsored articles. "You can put as many links as you want."

Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject
