===
"Native advertising" is a method of advertising that presents ads as journalism or unbiased articles.
This technique is used by publications like the New York Times, The Atlantic, Gawker, Buzzfeed, and others. Stories may be marked as sponsored, but disclaimers are subtle because the whole point is that users don't know it's an ad.
