I think that this is a really wrong way to get money. It is just a selfish act to get people to like your product, even if it is terrible, but this is all one-sided. You may say to yourself "Well it's just a companies opinion" well it is not truly their opinion, it is a paid opinion so people will like their product. And no, I don't think this is okay because it is not the true opinion of all of the people. Sure it can be the opinion of some people but it's not the opinion of everyone. To me this just seems like a greedy way for companies to make money. They falsely promote their product so consumers will buy it. This can highly affect the honesty of the blogging world because it is not the blogging world's truths. These people show that it's okay to lie, thus making all of the information on the blogging world less credible and more questionable.
Say you needed information for a project at school, so you go to "Yahoo Answers" for facts. All of this may not be the best information because people might have been paid to put that information out there, making your project false. It also affects the entire internet because if it affects the blogging world, people will get information from blogs and make pages based on this information. Making you wonder if all of this information is just "paid opinions". Companies should stop scamming people into thinking their products, and let people decide for themselves.
