That might explain why so many comments in this post on edible packaging didn’t reject the idea as defeating the purpose of packaging & were even suggesting wrapping the packaging in packaging to keep it contaminant-free.

Skittles. It’s the perfect example of a corporate advertising campaign that has been run out in the open in front of people, and no one can see it. From like “day one” on Reddit.
Burger King has a huge presence, McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, so many others.
Kagi has been running a stealth spam campaign here on Lemmy for over a year.

Could someone dive into the actual study and report on what a “Corporate troll” is defined as? Also, I note this is mostly citing user self reports… Do we really think that’s a good source?
Yareckt@lemmynsfw.com 22 hours ago
Where is it citing user self reports? The linked study is a collection of opinions of selected experts. It’s a qualitative study on expert’s opinions not a quantitave one that is based on reddit content or user’s experiences.
Artisian@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
Please do correct me if I’m reading poorly; but the first subheaded section in the article doesn’t claim to be quoting a summary of experts, it is quoting a pew poll of 2.5k typical americans and whether they see ‘corporate trolls’ on reddit. If you click through the pew link, I see that Pew has a much longer article of expert opinions on this, with the topics covering many social media sites and phenomena. That includes a survey of 1.3k experts, but it is also weird: 42% claim online climate wont change substantially in the next decade?

I have no idea either, must be those people on there who constantly portray corporations in a positive light and attack anyone who criticises them.

It feels like the headline reinforces my first urge, so feeling a bit on guard.
I’m not sure how you operationalize (or falsify) ‘15% of people interacted with folks who like companies’.

I only believe peoples product recommendations when they have furry porn in their post history

BREAKING scientists discover what everybody else already knew, still call it discovery
Yareckt@lemmynsfw.com 21 hours ago
Scientists didn’t discover anything. The author does not link to a study backing his claims but only to one tangentially related to his article.
Mechaguana@programming.dev 21 hours ago
Wrong. We might know, but its important to leave a study or articles behind about this phenomenon that is considerated as trustworthy. The masses will never look at your posts or comments, but will look at articles like theses.

Negative karma baby accounts to me are a red flag.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Generally speaking, I don’t check the age/gross karma on an account unless I’m suspicious. And by then… plenty of older accounts with lots of karma are HailCorporate to the gills. Nevermind the mods.
I just can’t take anything on that site seriously

this is an opinion that gets strongly hated on, but I believe the marvel rebuild of the past 15 years can be directly attributed to this.

You mean it started with Marvel movie marketing?

18-29, where do they get this biased claim from? I find it hard to believe people 7 years or so younger than me and trusting false data more than the large swaths of 65+ gobbling up misinformation about immigrants, drugs, economics etc. “Younger users are more active, more influential in their peer groups, and frankly, often less skeptical about what they’re seeing online.”

I think the author asked ChatGPT to write an article for him. The study he links to does not confirm any of the statistical claims he makes even though the article says it does.

Any platform that’s advertising based is a propaganda outlet. Reddit’s function is to manipulate pubic opinion.

Who’s trying to manipulate my pubes?
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 1 day ago
All platforms that have viewers become a propaganda outlet.

- Post problem with product that’s not really a problem.
- People instinctively express their dislike of the product.
- Corporate troll posts solution, or inconsistencies with the post. “I’m not really a fan of ___ but this is a you problem. They even have a feature to help with such a problem. You people are overreacting. Did you even read the article? You losers should get a life.”.
- People are now discouraged to express problems with product, even getting sold on a feature.

At least… meaning it could still be 99% ;-)
Yareckt@lemmynsfw.com 22 hours ago
Sadly the study mentioned in the article doesn’t seem to exist. So we actually have no idea how high the number is.
sramder@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
15% of the content is probably generated by just Spez 🤣
Saarth@lemmy.world 1 day ago
It’s only going to go up. Look at how revenues are increasing, it’s basically ad and PR money.
TinyLittlePuni@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I believe it. So many posts from Reddit read like they’re fake in a patronizing way, like they want to twist my opinion.

Most noticeable when it comes to stopkillinggames threads where you’ll see comments of people being angry at the movement and misrepresenting it wanting to force games to have to stay online indefinitely.
