Yes there is, but you have to tell someone you have something to sell at some point. Even if it goes through independent reviewers, the reviewer has to be reached somehow, that's still advertising.
You are probably not going to find a job if you don't tell anyone you need a job, job hunting is also advertising.

It's 2025. You could list it on your website, have it searchable in search engines, and aggregators for your product category, have independent and user review sites, and lots of other solutions that don't involve advertising.
I don't want anyone telling me they have something to sell I didn't ask them to tell me, and when I wasn't looking for such products actively (i.e. not because I searched somewhere else for a similar product).

No, it's not, unless the reviewer is paid or gets benefits for making your product look good.
And a great difference with "independent reviewers" is I can go to them (watch their videos, read their blog, go to their website, or whatever).
Advertising, on the other hand, cames to me. And increasingly I can't even skip it or get rid of it.
They also take the form of a review. Not a praise, or a video/image unrelated to the product, trying to sell it to me via sex, cool imagery, etc.
