There's plenty of signs if you take a look. E.g. most subreddits concerning an interest with products being made will have recommended products and such. Is this an organic, community made list of tools that is regularly vetted? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. You can imagine how valuable it would be for your company if you convinced the niche forum in your space that you are the "buy it for life" option or some default no wrong move choice. Sometimes there will also be discussion posts "hey anyone know a good x for z?" written by a shill account where other shill accounts come in with product recommendations, supported by upvotes from other bots over any other evidence. Kind of an interesting thread on the subject in the marketing subreddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/marketing/comments/vf5wmv/do_brands_use_reddit/ https://old.reddit.com/r/marketing/comments/vf5wmv/do_brands... Basically people are saying yes, marketing on reddit is very effective, especially if you aren't obvious and using /u/mybrandname but /u/randomuser123. This user is talking about starting a B2B company for this sort of subtle organic reddit posting, after having apparently a lot of success and thinking they can handle more clients than they currently do: https://old.reddit.com/r/marketing/comments/1c05w7c/thoughts_on_starting_a_reddit_marketing_agency/ https://old.reddit.com/r/marketing/comments/1c05w7c/thoughts...
