If I pay to advertise myself or my company on YouTube is YouTube corrupt for publishing the ad? Same goes for this. It’s a book of advertisements for the most part and iirc they even have a service for companies to break a record. It’s not some tome of truth and should not be viewed as such.

But if they market themselves as a tome of record breaking truth as they do, and when an award for a world record goes not to the person who actually has the "insert prize winning thing" instead goes to the "has a decently impressive thing but can pay more" that isn't advertising that is bribery.
