That's one of the main features of free speech, people are going to tell you what they want to tell you. Back when the other site was thought to or maybe even did have free speech, these kinds of subs were set up. As the other site has become more totalitarian and nixed them, they naturally sought out the same kind of environment that they originally started in: and I think this site hits closer than any others. That's how I imagine the majority of us ended up here.

Love it or hate it, it finds it's way here. I certainly don't want to be advertised to here, even if it's for cheap ammo, but it's far more comforting knowing it's at least allowed here than knowing it's not. I used to downvoat any kind of marketing/promotional post I saw, but everything is much grayer now. I just ignore the posts or outright block subs.

Advertising isn’t really what most people would call free speech — it’s more like free advertisement.

I wouldn't really call if that either, but I think it goes with the territory. You cover your house with honey and bears will come.
