It happens here, too. Like this shill post about the Scrub Daddy, where the comments are highly suspicious.

Reddit’s new paid ads look exactly like user posts
So what’s new?

It even happens in RL conversations, say, with people who bought stock of a big company subtly (or they think it looks so) recommending it.

Why has that sponge been shilled so heavily? I see it being marketed on TikTok of all places…
TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Because they have a creative marketing department who knows the cheapest ways to market things are to make it look like it isn’t marketing.

Right? Been that way for quite a while. One of the main reasons I refused to use the app.

I’ll tell you what’s new, pal. The McRib Megaburger, at McDonalds. It’s nutritious and delicious at just $7.99 or $9.99 with fries and a drink of your choice as long as you don’t want a milkshake or anything with actual sugar in it.

Wow. Everyone, ignore this guy, he’s also an ad.
Instead, you should hop on over to your local Chevy Dealership and ask about test driving the all new 2025 Tahoe. Drive one home today for less than $2,000 down!

Whenever I’m stressed out about too many ads, I take Fark-It-All. Ask your doctor if Fark-It-All is right for YOU.

This.
I tried Fark-It-All and it legit helped me reduce my stress level a lot. After Amazon drove up its Ads I felt I realy couldn’t take it any more. And since there is literally nothing you can do about ads, neither on reddit nor on Amazon, I looked for other options. And what can I say? Taking some Fark-It-All brings the fun back into funding, hypercapitalist corpations trough engaging with Ads. I highly recommend Fark-It-All, even if you just feel like you could potentialy be stressed out a bit by Ads. I’ve heard a lot of realy positive feedback on taking it preventative.
No /s, it realy is the shit. Just try it out and see for yourself.

Broodje Mexicano superiority, or even just the Kwik Trip equivalent.
