> It means ignoring official advice from all platform providers as disinformation.

This is a painful and revealing comment, and your post certainly isn't the only place I've seen it. The standard wisdom is that advice from platforms is either meaningless, or a guide to exactly how far you can go down their "not recommended" paths without catching a ban.

I'm not sure that there's any decent answer to this; all the evidence suggests that for some markets dishonesty and misleading promotion are the best possible tactics. What good are corporate ethics if the first person to act unethically will outperform all honest competitors?
