Reddit, AI spam bots explore new ways to show ads in your feed

“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.

“Sorry! Please read all of the rules that subscribed members of our subreddit regularly break, but not YOU!”
