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’ve been on Lemmy ever since the reddit API fracas. To date, I have not seen a reason to return. I have, however, seen many reasons to stay away.

      There are just certain communities that haven’t picked up over on Lemmy. D&D, Pathfinder, LFG, and I’m sure many others. I hate reddit with a passion but there is still stuff there.

          I can’t wait for it. Couldn’t happen to a better corporation.

          Something new will rise from the ashes. We might already be on it.
