Product placement

(a) Pinned: The creator operates the app interface to show event listings and says it shows you everything you could possibly want to do for free. This ACTS. (b) Alligator Lounge, Rudy's Bar & Grill, New York Public Library, Sweatpals, Classpass: These appear as visual examples of free or low-cost activities in NYC. They do not ACT in the sense of being the product being sold; they are examples of the content the Pinned app provides. Removing them would change the specific examples but not the core promotion of the Pinned app.
