No, I'm just saying that once you start selling a product, showing off that product is advertising.

There's no doubt in my mind that this woman is using her cosplay as a vehicle to sell subscriptions.

I don't even think it's a bad thing. Businesses have to advertise.

Maybe she also loves cosplay! Which would be great. Good for her, doing things she loves and making money doing it. I'm jealous AF.

That said, I still think it's an ad.
