Years ago you used to be able to comment in ad threads. And most people were just calling the ad out on its bullshit. So they stopped allowing comment replies in those threads.
This will somehow be different?
Comment on Reddit's new paid ads look exactly like user posts

Yeah, I remember those fun times. See an ad post, look up their scandals on Wikipedia, post about those scandals in the comments…
There’s no way this will work unless they lock down those posts. If they want something that looks like organic engagement with comments that don’t ruin the brand, it can’t work anything like the rest of Reddit. They’ll have to have corporate moderators who remove any post that is even slightly challenging to the brand, because otherwise those will be the ones getting upvotes.

Sounds like great fun for trolls.

I hear Snickers is making smaller candies at the normal price.

But still packed with peanuts! Snickers™ really satisfies!

Hey, you seem like you’re having a hard time. You’re not you when you’re hungry. Have a Snickers.
