Reddit definitely has promoted content and native advertising. Perhaps you're not seeing it because you're using the far superior old.reddit.com?

- pclmulqdq 4y agoThe biggest form of this advertising isn't actually done with the knowledge of Reddit. Organizations use Reddit accounts to astroturf narratives together, since Reddit is pseudonymous. Companies who need better PR, or just a good controversy, can do this much more cheaply on Reddit than any other internet forum. Still, the high-quality advice on Reddit that is authentic can be the most useful stuff on the internet.
- djtango 4y agoTrue but, for example, I still find that restaurants and travel advice is far superior on Reddit than Google. Reddit is often my starting point for beginning research on purchasing decisions. Although when buying a digital piano, I ended up finding dedicated boards like pianoworld to be better EDIT Ironically, I also find YouTube to be a great source of research, mostly because the cost to produce content is higher and I think it's somewhat harder to produce inauthentic content (at least to me so far for the things I am researching)
