Reads like thinly veiled advertising for the services offered by the website this article comes from. I doubt it's anywhere close to a representative sample.
If you think something should be removed, report it.
If you just make a comment asking about some "troublesome priest" of a post and why mods haven't removed it...
A lot of people, often without reading the article, will just report it, even days/weeks later.
Personally, I think it's fine. I'm not sure why people would think this was an advertisement for a product that isnt even named...
Did you think when the article said the websites name that it was the name of a business that does that?
Anyways, it's bad form to leave comments like you just did, and I felt actually explaining why you should just report stuff your self would be more beneficial than just removing your comment
Side note:
A good bit of modern public propaganda is getting multiple people to all report at once.
I highly doubt that's what happening here, they don't just leave a public comment. Just a thing that's relevant

You see the irony here right? You're doing the exact thing you're accusing me of.
I didn't report it because I doubt it actually contravenes the rules. Mods should uphold the rules rather than simply removing content they find distasteful. That being the case the best course of action is to appeal to the good nature of the OP.
This article is propaganda normalising the use of pay later services and propagating this boring dystopia. If you can't see that then you're naively perpetuating the problem.
Take your own comment out next time instead of something people clearly like to see. It obviously didn't take much power for it to get to your small-minded head.
I tried looking and it seems the company that owns the website is basically an Ad company that got bought out by a different SEO and Ad company that's owned by Matt Buchanan and Jesse Biter who originally focused on car sales.
Seems it's more just an in industry plant site meant to just be a place for people who like to make money to talk about money things that can have articles they can point to, to back their statements but that's it.
