I think people should be allowed to promote products and services, but those promotions should not be given any more weight than any other kind of post. The problem is when advertisers are allowed to buy spots on a site.

Wouldn't that just turn into who can afford the most vote manipulation on their reddit posts?

Isn't that how it works now anyway, in addition to regular ads?
