Well, look at that. Ads disguised as posts.

    That is wild. Are you sure it’s not the author of that comment editing their post to become an ad? Screenshot?

      My partner still visits reddit on mobile (the communities they want just are not here and they don’t like to post), I know when showing me something we’ve clicked on a post to have to scroll past a “Presented” comment (ad), the communities stickied bot comment, then we finally get to the first real comment only for it to be some highly upvoted joke comment. Sprinkle in bots and native ad’s, I seriously don’t understand still putting up with it. It’s like saying a shopping complex is still a social hot spot like a mall was back in the day.

      Not that I would be shocked or anything, yeah I can see it happening no doubt. Source though.
