🤨 when did Reddit overtake Twitter? Reddit used to be a niche destination that you’d barely see it in comparison to the other big name sites.
Reddit got more important once it Google ranked higher and the astroturfs found out, that people trust a review on Reddit inside a thread more, than multi million dollar marketing scam action, trying to game Google algorithm or other sites. The same will sooner or later happen to the fediverse if it ever grows. It's unavoidable, sadly.
Could counteract with some intense verification of personhood I suppose… dig into your network and see if you’re promoting your friends’ products too…
Can’t imagine how to preserve privacy yet eliminate fraud really. Paid reviewers like Consumer Reports? Random sample surveys?
