The practice of using Google to search within Reddit is already known to SEO scammers, and I’ve already started encountering subreddits supposedly geared toward a particular class of product, but upon a closer look, every single post in the subreddit recommends a particular brand of product.

Is this person SEO scamming? I don’t know for sure, but the subject matter is the same that I frequently see frontpaged from /r/FluentInFinance by obvious bots, although the motive seems to be political rather than commercial.

On a 7 day old Reddit account, no less. It’s very odd.

To sleep better at night, perhaps.
