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.

I really would like to quit Reddit but I have to admit that Reddit has a lot more variety in terms of content, so I'll keep using it until Boost for Reddit finally breaks for good.

50% of the content on Lemmy falls into four categories:

  • Posts complaining about Reddit
  • Linux memes
  • Commieposting
  • Porn
  • source
  • hideshow 16 child comments
  • [–] 10 points 2 years ago (1 child)
    • Cats
    • Memes about cats
    • Cats using Linux
    • Owning a car is evil and you should be ashamed
    • You should have a cat instead
    • We hate Elon Musk
    • Knives

    (Hey, at least I'm trying.)

    The break down of the content isn't my biggest issue. The problem is that there just isn't enough content.

    Thankfully some mobile apps besides the official still work and Old Reddit still works on desktop.
