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.
Amen. I should have seen it earlier, but the API debacle told me that Reddit is run by "my way or the highway" management. And they showed they didn't care at all about their users. I used to post spicy OC memes. Realized there's no point in adding value to a platform that does not value it's own people one iota.
