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.
That was one of the things that kept pissing me off about Reddit when I was there, the arcane rules and requirements for posting on some of the subs. "Sorry I didn't read your subreddit's manifesto, I thought I had a quick post that was relevant to r/stinkybuttholes, my bad I didn't realize that I wasn't using the minimum amount of flair in my post." I just started blocking communities like that, rather than continue to see their posts anymore.
