I always thought a scary amount of undetected “guerilla marketing” was invading Reddit. And I’m convinced bots were ginning up conversation in the comment sections of those Reddit posts. And bots were downvoting me when I cried manipulation. And all those voices I always hear were very against me.
And here I thought I was crazy.
If it makes you feel any better, there definite was and likely still is plenty of "guerilla marketing" on Leddit. I know because I did it and got clients and money out of it without giving Leddit a single ad dollar and using an ad blocker lol.
There are different ways to go about it and there are people that are way better at it than I, but any time you saw a "wow look at this neat gadget" or "wow look at this fun looking bar code in the shape of a Theodore Roosevelt", there was a half decent chance that it was posted by somebody with financial interest in that product without disclosing it.
Not to even mention account karma farming and selling, there was plenty of that as well. Again, I would know.
Same, some of it was pretty obvious. Also a ton of bots spreading propaganda.
Oh look here's Friendly_Box3916 with a 2 month old account and a hot take on a political issue.
