You could be right in your suspicions, but least these guys aren't reopening years old threads in order to post a link to some business with link that had only a tenuous relations ship to touring if any at all. So I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt until they start opening old threads to post links to yoga mat sellers or something. If it is a troll on their part it is a harmless (and pretty pointless) one so far.
this guy could be for real, but, ummm.......hiring some dude to research warm showers hosts in northern pakistan? ....'cause he ain't got enough time during the covid lockdown to do it hisself? sure, why not, like anybody's gonna be flying off to the 'stans for holidays anytime in the near future.
has it really come to this? i miss squiggy.

yebbut....sure.....i know. just that over the years we've seen hundreds of threads where some new guy opens with some interesting problem, then waits a few days before coming back with the "solution", just $199.99+shipping! then there are the guys that log on to say "hey, lookit my tour/packing/gear video" with a link to his monetized youtuber channel, with embedded ads, links to sponsors, and of course a request to buy his t-shirt.

Touring with a "suspicious" mindset on the part of the local or a traveller would be a very different proposition.

I sometimes seek highways for their better grade and to avoid the scarcity of businesses. Its also easier to navigate allowing me to avoid using my phone or pulling out maps.
