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.

But unfortunately, it still is the best option for a modern day message board.

For small communities that don't have a significant lemmy presence? Sure, for now.

I'm never going back to a community that can remove news-related posts without a modlog. That's just asking for censorship and abuse by bad actors.
