Yup I work in software security and I personally know several subreddits that are bought and even more where admins are insiders shilling their own products. Has been the case for years and Reddit doesn't care.
Well you can’t leave us hanging like that. Which ones?
/r/all
The entire /r/SEO subreddit is just one guy, on three different accounts, trying to sell people on his agency, which is one of the weakest ones out there. Competitors are filtered out.
Big if true!
Yup. One of the philosophy subs is obviously doing that. I unsubed.
yup im a forum that does that, ban evaders are doing this too, the ones that have hordes of accounts.
Hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah, I think I need to give my username up to this guy.
He will probably think it's something deep in Korean. 😋
Um… Bezos owns AWS, Zuck has nothing on him as far as ‘owning the internet’.
Fake and nonbinary
Which sub could this be?
So where was this posted? It looks like X to me, but I don't use X and never have, so I'm not sure. There are so freaking many platforms, that it would have been nice to include where it was posted.
If it is on reddit, I don't see any subreddit?
Anyways, no matter where it was posted it's moronic. I wonder if it gains anything for anyone?
These are people talking about gaming reddit on X.
Thanks. 👍
And: Ah yes X the very reliable non manipulative platform with strict rules of decency, no chance they are the "game" themselves. /s

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
