But it needs to be an HONEST conversation. By treating reviews as if they're the same as ads but not being open about it they're being misleading.

And this has nothing to do with "changes rippling through the industry" - neither the idea of ads or reviews is new, nor sadly the idea of paid-for ads masquerading as reviews.
