Sponsored Threads - Clickbait
 

I've noticed today that there are new "sponsored" threads in various fora. Is any one vetting these threads to see what is being advertised or proposed.

For example, there is one on solving tinnitus as a way of preventing alzheimers. Since when has FT become a health forum?

I appreciate that there is a need to monetise FT however, I don't think this is it.

I appreciate your comments. Internet Brands, the owner of the site, is responsible for the sponsored threads. I am going to move this along to the Tech Issues forum. They monitor that forum so this is the best way to draw their attention.

Get rid of this garbage. If they need to raise more funds how about adding a subscription to remove ads that people have been requesting for years now.

We do try to get more "on-brand" ads and I will forward this to our business team to see what we can do.
