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
