theWHIR?


Does anyone know if theWHIR has been purchased by The Planet?
As of late I am receiving what I would call spam from The Planet but it is being sent out by theWHIR.com

This is now the 3rd time in the last month or two that theWHIR has done this, prior to this it was news articles regarding the industry (this is why I signed up for it). Now it is just offers from The Planet and nothing else.

Anyone else getting this or has my subscription to theWHIR gone bonkers.

I don't think so (such purchase was made), but it's possible that TheWHIR sold them tons of ads and right now Theplanet pushing them for ROI - TheWHIR trying their best

I don't mind ads in articles, but these emails are text based and all they mention are the current The Planet deals.

Surely theWHIR has got this wrong, I don't think anyone signed up to theWHIR to get ONLY advertisements from competitors.
