Buy my book,I am International Master

I'm glad that Thibault,Clarkey and others have created here a good site to play chess,
However the last time, I noticed on the profiles of some Great Players, marketing actions related to the incentive to buy their products associated with the game of chess,
I understand that it is good to hone skills,
We have chance to be better thanks-our Friend Kingscrusher or funny ChessWhiz,
But for me it is not acceptable to offer direct on the profile for purchase, for instance a book or other product,
Some try here to take a free advertising does not depend primarily on the game and Friendship but only to Ads Their publications
I don't really see anything against people self-promoting.

Lichess is a service, like Facebook, Twitter, or Youtube. If you want to advertise on your profile "I have written X book if you are interested in buying it." I honestly have nothing against it as long as the product itself is not offensive.
Interesting point of view Clarkey. It's good to have this freedom here in Lichess, Adam Smith would be proud!
I don't see any problem with it being on their profile. As long as they don't beat me and then suggest I buy their book..
I don't mind that at all because no one's forcing you to look at their profile page, and it is *their* profile page.
