This post today, http://www.travelcodex.com/2016/04/h...rol-on-the-go/, is outrageous in how miniscule its disclosure is at the bottom.
When I commented that it should have appropriate disclosure, I first got a reply saying that Scott does all "necessary disclosures" even those that are "not required." I tried to respond by linking to the FTC guidance which requires conspicuous, upfront disclosures, but the entire comment had been deleted. (Putting aside how something can be "necessary" but "not required.")
Road Warriorette had the same sponsored content and disclosed it only at the very end in small print. I agree that it is bad form and probably violates FTC guidelines but I seem to have lost that battle.
