If it's from Business Insider or Forbes, there's a 95% chance it was a under-the-table ad.
I'm not under any contract anymore. You can hire writers to post on those two sites about your product, or expand your reach. Every business book review is a ad. Every "How to do X" like "How to talk to your boss" is a thin disguise of a ad, as it sells you books, courses.
I see this every so often on NPR too. Whole episodes that are really just an ad for someone’s new book.
