Whats up with all the blogs that are basically advertisements? That one for Battlefield 1, for example?

Blogs that are basically advertisements
Blogs can be used as members see fit, as long as it's the type of blog that belongs on GameDev.net.
With the recent uptick in blog entries we'll be looking at ways to better highlight entries of interest. We don't want to discourage anyone from posting about their game, a game review from a developer perspective, or about their development thoughts.
We treat GameDev.net as a platform for the community to decide what's best, and as a platform one simple way to voice displeasure is to downvote the blog entries, or conversely upvote the good ones.
A suggestion. Whilst I do love the blogs, I think they could use some sort of grouping mechanism in a similar way that the different sub forums are segmented, or some way to more easily browse them such as a tiled grid with just the titles and an optional image.
We will of course handle any outright spam. :)
