Do others feel somewhat conflicted talking positively about commercial goods/services? (lemm.ee)

Sometimes I feel like if I do so I'm basically serving as an ad, and I don't really care for that, especially if later I find that the business was scummy in some ways (which is often the case, especially later as it changes leadership/ownership).

If you do, how do you deal with it?

But the fact that you feel like you’re an ad suggests that maybe you’re doing it too often.

It's not that I feel like that, as I don't talk much about these things, and I don't because even the little I might sometimes feels that way. It's more of a conflicted feeling than feeling outright like an ad, as in that it can come across as promotional even if it may simply be talking about a good experience.
