A lot of content on reddit these days is advertising that is pretending to be organic content anyway. It's nigh impossible to completely filter out the astroturfing that happens.
- filoleg 3y agoYou can just go for the allow-list approach (only reading the subs and niches you care about) instead of the block-list approach (where you read r/all and try to filter out the astroturfed material and advertising). However, you might be out of luck if your niche/hobby is very mainstream popular and has a large following on reddit as well (e.g., marvel comics or general stuff like world politics). As someone who mostly reads just a few smaller subs, none of the astroturfing gets to me. As soon as I check r/all though, especially comments on popular posts, it instantly reminds me of all that garbage.
