I think you did. I have not read a single confirmation that KBLB paid for the award they received. That is not what the two Quora comments from random internet posters said. They said they were badgered to advertise. Do you have other information you can share?
Really? Can you validate this claim? They solicit people to advertise, like pretty much every publication, website, etc. Where have they said they give people awards based on if they are willing to pay?
Look forward to your sourcing these statements with facts beyond Quora posts that do not come to this same conclusion.
