I have to agree with you that some rooms promote or advise players to use this strategy for their own benefit. Same with rake races...I'm not a big fan of them because it forced people to play a ton and obviously from experience the people who usually win are 2-3 buddies taking turns playing on the same account so tehy can basically play non-stop for the whole race. Obviously no real person could play as much as the winners do...in most instances...but obviously to the room its a lot about them raking a ton.

Well yes and no...
At lower limits Cashgames beat all, but at higher limits SnG players start to dominate completely, because they pay a higher proportionate rake usually...
If you play multiple $1000 SnG´s you pay a TON of rake per hour :)

I belong to a site that teaches SSS, BSS, SNGS and MTTS. They don't endorse any style just teach you them, as well as proper bankroll management. As for it being in their interest of course any active player playing for them is in their interest. They also gave me a free start. Its how they pay for the freerolls and other value added stuff that they might offer I would sooner make someone money like this, than by joining a poker forum/training site where there intent is to generate an email list that they can then sell to multiple emarketing firms making themselves money and not paying back to their members.(not making any implications here)
Several sites have increased the min buy ins from 20 big blinds to 35. Thus making it harder to effectively use proper BRM and proper SSS, as both are needed for the long term. Also some have added tables that are 20 big blinds max for those who like to play short. Again this means that people wanting to use proper SSS shouldn't be there.
