It says in the article
15% of these subreddits contained content likely posted by bots or corporate trolls specifically designed to promote companies or organizations.

Yet another great example of how easily people accept a headline as fact when it supports their prior beliefs. It really shows how gullible people can be - even when they probably think of themselves as critical media consumers, at least compared to the average Reddit user.

I was trying just now and found this discussion from 2023:

Thank you so much! There is so much shadowboxing going on in this comment section.
