reddit is a website that no longer allows people to vote on content and see the most upvoted content, currently there are filters in place so the votes of the community don't matter in what gets shown on the front page. Reddit may even censor content depending on location
now. Much like DailyMail or HuffingtonPost reddit is censored content and has 'editors' dictating what you see. The reddit that once existed is dead.
Welcome
to the new censorship powered and
marketing
driven reddit.
Remember to follow the money.
Advertisements are everywhere, even if you are not aware of them.
This reddit is based on the principle that popular culture has permeated so far into our own lives that we ourselves are acting unknowingly as shills for a multitude of things.
Just because no one got paid to make a post doesn't make it any less of an advertisement if it acts just the same as an advertisement.
This is simply a place to document things that act as ads.
Rules - you may be banned on first offense for rule breaking
Things to keep in mind
Don't make dumb jokes or posts which might out of context seem like a
/r/HailCorporate
submission themselves or risk removal and banning
User history, account age, and past posts mean nothing. Only the most obvious spam accounts fail to obfuscate this (see
/r/spam
if you find one).
r/gaming,
r/movies,
r/ama, etc links are not encouraged as we all know that it is filled with advert type posts in their own specific subject. However when a different topic comes up it may qualify. E.g. a post about a tv show in a videogame subreddit
Almost no one is really an astroturfing 'shill' so without hard evidence then hold accusing, only present evidence in a neutral manner
Don't act like a child
Report all rule violations for immediate banning
Perhaps check out these links:
or
/r/HailBitcoin
for when someone on the front page tries to tell others about how great bitcoin is. Let it be known that Bitcoin the protocol is very cool but the moderators of the bitcoin subreddit censor honest and ration discussion to further their own agenda against the will of the users.
