Here is what one of these ads looks like:
https://www.reddit.com/u/PhillyCanada/s/O52X2oGf5V
It does not appear to be labeled as an ad on the Reddit mobile app.
This is how it's looks. No notification anywhere that is an ad post.
Yeah this is really scary. Maybe the golden thing on the top right is supposed to be the marking? But this is clearly not clearly marked. Should be easy to sack in a court.
This may be on purpose though. They communicate to their future shareholders that they will do everything - legal and illegal - to make profit and pay dividends.
I think that's the icon for archived posts, not ads marking.
