Reddit? This is Saidit! Get out of here with that reddit craps! 😡 Jokes aside, still won't fool me.

I have a hard time believing these ads won't result in their products and corporate executives being called the worst things imaginable in the comments.

Yeah people already do that for "normal" Reddit ads; this seems like paying extra for the privilege of putting in way more of your own effort for something that no one will ever appreciate. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Reddit gets caught in a few years using an LLM to create fake positive engagement on their ads.

LLM?

Large Language Model, commonly referred to (incorrectly) as artificial intelligence

r/hailcorporate changed no minds. This will also not. Redditors will welcome it, watch.

They've sacrificed all the quality by banning users with algorithms. I guess they've given up on improving the website and just decided to milk it before it dies an inevitable death.

To my knowledge this has been the same since the start of paid ads at Reddit, back when Condé Nasty set those up (13 years ago?)
