If I were an advertiser, I'd much rather pay someone to astroturf Reddit than buy advertising space on Reddit itself. It seems like a much better investment.

- raldi 14y agoYou underestimate reddit's abuse defenses.
- icelancer 14y agoAnd you overestimate the crowd's intelligence if you think this doesn't happen on a regular basis (quite successfully, I might add).
- shiftpgdn 14y agoI spent a huge amount of ad money on reddit for literally no conversions and a handful of clicks. These were ads that were hugely effective on lots of other sites. Spending your money to advertise on reddit is less effective than simply flushing it down the toilet.
