I dislike for-profit entities using the "sponsorship" label when they really just mean advertising slots. eg. "give us money and we will put your banner on our site". It gives off the fake illusion of community, charity, and non-profit where it's an actual business.

Of course these probably aren't the examples you had in mind, but mostly wanted to mention just because something is technically a for profit business doesn't mean it's not someone's attempt to do good and in both cases we'd take sponsorship (if only we could get it)!

You're right, they aren't. My tweet was provoked by a very specific case where a "community website" had sponsorships that consisted entirely of advertising tiers.
