    Paid-plugin recommendation perceived as advertising

    A user complained that IntelliJ IDEA presented a recommendation for a paid third-party plugin in a way that appeared to be an advertisement. JetBrains apologized for the experience, explained that the recommendation was generated by Marketplace logic based on the opened file type, and said the issue had been fixed so the plugin would no longer be suggested.
