Reddit, AI spam bots explore new ways to show ads in your feed

#For sale: Ads that look like legit Reddit user posts

"We highly recommend only mentioning the brand name of your product since mentioning links in posts makes the post more likely to be reported as spam and hidden. We find that humans don't usually type out full URLs in natural conversation and plus, most Internet users are happy to do a quick Google Search," ReplyGuy's website reads.

Id do the same, but Im in a verry stupid situation, I dont have a reddit account and dont want to be advertising-group stalked due to being a sensitive subject.

plus it was already half taken over by ads because the sex industry is bad, some of the subs are just filled with "this is a thing you can buy, look how sexy!". I dont want what your selling, the way your selling it.

on lemmy, the subreddit is dead, minus some guy trying to revive it. Like many others, its owner posted 5 posts, and... nobody kept the pace up. ๐Ÿค•
