i dont think he actually claimed it was cross-selling, he said we bitch about cross-selling and showed how a mainstream site was tricky in its process.
If he was decieved it was deceptive, pretty simple to me. Like mcdonalds/burger king ads. The burgers are deceptive as you would never actually recieve a burger like that. Is it a crime ? maybe but probably not. Is it deceptive ? yes
There are obviously varying degrees of deceptiveness , some piss you off, some you can reasonably assume. Intent plays a big role too.
Like travel ads on tv for vegas or hawaii. They show the best of the best not the crackhead hookers shooting up in the alley's. The intent
isn't to decieve but the reality is. With the burger ads the intent
is too decieve but one can reasonably assume the burgers arent going to be the ones on the tv commercial.
