Well ... apart from amateurs and academics with disinterested sharing (which may also boost their reputation), most everything else is an advertising sandwich of some sort.
Some more tasteful than others. Yesterday I rabbit-holed after a reference to the obscure "Star 80" movie, and saw several mentions of how the lead actor deserved an Oscar nomination which he did not get because his character was distasteful.
So it goes.
