We are being flooded by headphone ads

Over the past few weeks I've noticed a huge influx of oblique discussions about headphones, often Sennheisers.  I'm getting a little tired of it. 

It's clearly meant to generate discussion about headphones, but placed in areas besides headphones.  The guy who allegedly has ear pain without them, the several people looking for changes from brand x... all of them with accounts newly minted.

I'm sorry, again, I'm being so very unclear.  @curiousjim 

I don't mean literal ads.  I mean ads masquerading as discussion topics.

Sorry my original posting wasn't clear enough.

I don't mind lots of headphone discussions.  What I mind is seeming botness of discussions that appear from multiple brand new members of A'gon oddly focused on 1 brand of headphones.

Honestly this isn't just headphones anymore.  Recent discussion about a subwoofer manufacturer (who I am a fan of) was really just a covert ad.

PS - I don't mean users who have been here a while and ask questions about their headphone systems too.  I'm specifically talking brand new accounts that somehow have to bring up certain brands.
