Well, look at that. Ads disguised as posts.

      100% chance

      Reddit would not let actual sentiment be shown, which is part of why the comments are locked (archived). If you’re an advertiser they’ll bend over backwards to please you. Guaranteed.

      5 years ago people were down voting ads to oblivion. Now? They’ve got controls for that.

        Oh man I miss when down voting an ad actually worked. That was such a funny movement for a second before they fixed that.
        But yeah all those up ones are definitely fake and just a way to make it feel more real. The Jesus ads still don’t show any up otes since they aren’t paying for that feature I guess.

      Pretty sure the votes don’t work on the ads. Why would they, every ad would get down voted into oblivion and not show up on people’s feeds. It reminds me of the fake comments on Facebook ads. “Pre-ordered my shwami blankets, can’t wait!”
