I agree with the general logic but you can't apply this rule blindly.
You post book reviews from time to time, so you're advertising products of
third parties. I find those OK. And they would still be OK for me even if
you provided affiliate links to amazon as part of those articles.
Somehow you need to take into account how often this happens, whether
the article provide value for a majority of planet readers, etc. It's
difficult to set a clear limit.
