There are people here that actually make and sell gear, but not like any "big company". And the main difference is the amount of spam that some companies can generate.
Indeed if we go on instagram or twitter is full of advertising, which is quiet off-putting.
I'd also like to emphasize the fact that there is an impressive variety of bodies, ages, and tastes here, and most of the companies only promote one or two kind of bodies and ages.
The main question for me is what would we, as community and users, would gain with that?
Between publicity and censorship on instagram I just gave up on them and closed my account. Since then I've been quiet more active on this website, and would love to keep on seeing the difference between this page and community and any other app that is only money orientated.
