An open letter: if you market your product by spamming Reddit et al. with fake stories (as this guide suggests), we:
1. can all tell
2. will not use your product
Please stop polluting the global commons

That said, what form of marketing actually works and is honest? I cant think of much.
The gambling site “Stake” was doing the same thing recently, they’d make posts on financial advice or gaming subreddits and edit in a link (as to be “oh btw I need advice because I made money betting”). Were even using Greek Unicode “a”s and “e”s to hide from the automod filters. Scumbags among scumbags
Many times, I’ve been “surprised” to find that, within a span of few hours, many people on LinkedIn/Twitter share similar anecdotes, punchlines, realizations, and everything in between. Of course, they all end with asking to say the MAGIC word(s) to reward the “selected few” in their DMs.
Gone are the days when we used to just give things out - here is the link to the zip file, download and do whatever you want.
Go ahead, “Say friend and enter.”
Edit/Update: About that “Tell”, honestly, I think a lot too many have no clue.
the reality is most users can't tell. you can see it under every ai post on reddit, unless it is creaming ai in every word.
