Private equity firms are utilizing public trust in long-standing publications to sell every product under the sun. In a bid to replace falling ad revenue, publishing houses are selling their publications for parts to media groups that are quick to establish affiliate marketing deals. They're buying magazines we love, closing their print operations, turning them into digital-only, laying off the actual journalists who made us trust in their content in the first place, and hiring third-party companies to run the affiliate arm of their sites. While this happens, investment firms and 'innovative digital media companies' are selling you bad products. These Digital Goliaths shouldn't be able to use product recommendations as their personal piggy bank, simply flying through Google updates off the back of 'the right signals,' an old domain, or the echo of a reputable brand that is no longer.
