The internet reminds me of the colonial west where it's everything is fair game and exploitation is common practice..

Well it is a little disconcerting to know these guys are roaming around on the interweb, don't you think?

LOL... the term you're looking for Coriolus is "wary" or "leery", not 'weary'.

With that said, it is disturbing the number of shills employed specifically to mislead the public. Advertising and marketing has long had an adversarial relationship with the public and we continue to tolerate it. We accept being FORCED to endure advertising, often put forth by advertisers with the knowledge that they are annoying more people than they are convincing to buy their products, such is their arrogance. Why should the internet be any different?

Heh, that's one of my message board pet peeves - like they're, there, their, its, it's, etc. It's rather startling how frequently people get this word wrong.
