I’m more worried about the advertisers sneaking in through “bragging” about products, like Reddit saw. 😣

[-] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Bragging? I’m not familiar with this. What does that mean in terms of advertising?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 1 year ago

It's a form of guerrilla advertising where they play on FOMO and try to make people jealous of someone who is "loving" the product. It's one of the harder forms of shilling to detect because it can sound just like a regular person who actually does enjoy a specific product.

Exactly this. It’s made me a pessimist online, and offline.

[-] TheGoldenGod@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I’ll admiit, bragging wasn’t the right word, but I meant all the PR teams the enshittify social media like fleas, by pretending to be a run of the mill user, attempting to build hype.

Oh I get what you mean.

Yeah I tried to google what a good free VPN was and all the Reddit posts were OBVIOUS plants by VPNs that wanted you to pay for them.

I found a free one eventually but Reddit was no help.

Exactly, with SEO it’s like wading through a septic tank these days.

[-] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Not to sound like an idiot but I don’t know what SEO is either.
