For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

What is this advertising bullshit?
Lol what? This isn't an ad. Can you point out a brand name in the post?
Amazon, where you're searching?
The word, logo, and slogan etc for Amazon is not in the image.
If you recognize that it is amazon, it doesn't make it an ad for amazon.
The post does nothing to imply you should shop on amazon, it just shows a set of search results from it and furthermore expunges 95% of the interface and the logo.
2 years ago you posted a picture of an Ohio license plate. That does not mean that you are posting an advertisement implying people should go to Ohio for tourism.
If someone posts a picture of google search results are they advertising for google?
Just recognizing where something is from does not necessitate that it is an advertisement. However if you readily recognize where something is from, perhaps instead it just means that that companies actual advertising has been effective on you.
