This comment felt like indirect spam, as it doesn't really contribute anything IMHO. The phrase "in our experience" implies they’re in the same business, and upon checking the profile, I found that aside from the bio linking to their own thing, most comments resemble (in)direct spam. Everyone has their strategies, but I really disliked seeing this.
