Where's the line between in-depth reporting and long-form advert?

The Atlantic's reader base is the exact target audience for such services

Presumably the line is whether or not the publisher is getting paid for the writing.

The Atlantic does do branded content from time to time, but they always explicitly label it as such. I would bet a substantial sum that this article is not an advertisement.
