I don't think you are too rash Brad.
The traffic numbers might impress the advertisers, but the barrage of advertisements don't impress me.
I have no desire to wade through the advertisements and garbage on someone's site to read a review that they are publishing solely for the purpose of generating revenue.
While I won't question the writer's fondness or love of cigars, booze or whatever they are blogging about, their motive is plain as day and it's not the enlightenment and sharing to a community, if it were, they would simply post the review here and all the other sites they spam, but rather, it's their bottom line traffic, which equals dollars and that is achieved by drawing people over to their site.
