    Based on the image itself, it is unclear what its true purpose is. I saw this as neutral, however, it also adds to the growing trend of native advertisement, of which I am against.

    I personally find this type of propaganda to be harmful. Its intent is hidden.

    Although I rated this example of propaganda as neutral on the "beneficial - harmful" scale, I do believe that it is the subtle use of propaganda that the average citizen must be the most wary of. It is this "subliminal" influence of media that can have the biggest effect because it is a process that takes place primarily subconsciously. If we are unaware of the influence of propaganda, how can we be mindful of it?

    I was just slightly over neutral with this rating. It clearly looks like an ad to me, but I can see how the harm might have more of an impact with those who are unaware of this type of propaganda. It has a lot to do with our filter bubbles too that we unknowingly create and we get the same time of information regurgitated right back to us. This is fluff compared to what some peoples look like, I'm sure.
