Reads like thinly veiled advertising for the services offered by the website this article comes from. I doubt it's anywhere close to a representative sample.

If you think something should be removed, report it.

If you just make a comment asking about some "troublesome priest" of a post and why mods haven't removed it...

A lot of people, often without reading the article, will just report it, even days/weeks later.

Personally, I think it's fine. I'm not sure why people would think this was an advertisement for a product that isnt even named...

Did you think when the article said the websites name that it was the name of a business that does that?

Anyways, it's bad form to leave comments like you just did, and I felt actually explaining why you should just report stuff your self would be more beneficial than just removing your comment

Side note:

A good bit of modern public propaganda is getting multiple people to all report at once.

I highly doubt that's what happening here, they don't just leave a public comment. Just a thing that's relevant

What services by the way?

I tried looking and it seems the company that owns the website is basically an Ad company that got bought out by a different SEO and Ad company that's owned by Matt Buchanan and Jesse Biter who originally focused on car sales.

Seems it's more just an in industry plant site meant to just be a place for people who like to make money to talk about money things that can have articles they can point to, to back their statements but that's it.
