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 tried to get other people off the site before I left, but the mods decided to be douchebags about user retention.
If anyone looks up my profile there, it says something like ‘Fuck Reddit! Reddit sucks! Go to Lemmy!’ but that’s the best I can do at this point.
I’m pretty sure it’s why I didn’t get an IPO buy-in offer despite having super high post and comment karma too.
They kept sending their IPO shit to me with no way to opt out. I reported them to the FTC for not having an unsubscribe on their email.
