    Good thing we don’t have anyone infiltrating our favorite communities on Lemmy to market a movie, like the Golden Globe winning, Oscar nominated sensation of summer 2023, “Barbie”, now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services!

    (Watch the Oscars on Sunday please.)

      Hey wait a minute, something doesn’t smell right here!

      Contrary to my lovely wife’s Chanel’s New Eau De Parfum™, which smells diving - almost as good as her Calvin Klein deep euphoria™.

      Anyways, color me impressed, Oscar Nominated Producer Margot Robbie!

      Which is easy with my wife’s new Splat™, 100% vegan hair dye, made with baobab extract and formulated with quinoa!

      Ok that’s all the Margot Robbie sponsored products a 10 second google search shows me ;)

        This post entertains me almost as much as Raid: Shadow Legends, which I play all the time on my… um, consoles? PC? Mobile? Gaming device! I always play it on my gaming device which I definitely use to play Raid: Shadow Legends without interruptions. All day.

      For what it’s worth, I’ve watched Barbie while I still haven’t seen Oppenheimer, or even the first part of Dune, so there’s that. Make what you will of it. I actually liked it.

      All we get on Lemmy is the dumbest tier of Russian shills pretending to be communists to help Republicans, which is a really surreal thing to type out.

      On some level, I kind of long for a more innocent time when the most malevolent force was just some Sony viral marketing pushing “PlayStation exclusive” posts to the front page ahead of a game launch.

    It is headed the way of quora. Where almost every response is a marketing post. Those who stayed on reddit aren’t bothered by this anyways.

      It’s cliche but it all starts with you. Don’t tolerate it to begin with. Have a moral compass that understands that infinite growth is inherently flawed and there’s nothing wrong with something remaining niche. Remember in all your interactions every day that it is always a person first and what they represent second.

      They specifically used r/buyitforlife as an example of how to market on Reddit. Thing is that the trustworthiness came from users and this will dilute the trust in that sub rendering it useless. I hate what they have become.

      Even without marketing it wasn’t great. Someone recommended a product I had personal experience with. I The product had fallen apart after 3 years.

      The users suggest products with a good name brand despite not having actually used the product for any length of time.

      Their posts are all, “I just bought X and love it so it must get ‘buy it for life’ quality.”

      This feels so disgusting to read. Like a hunter who found it’s pray and is bragging about, before they lure the whole elephant family into spike traps and neck shoot whoever survived, in front of the whole herd.

    marketers have been trolling discussion on that platform very actively for years

    Of course they want to grow the free mods out there and replace them with marketing shills. It’s nothing new, just better tools to probably make it less obvious.

  • Well, I would like to think that this will get some more Redditors to become Lemmings, but I don’t have high hopes. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been a significant migration during the APIcalypse, so I don’t see that happening now.

    I look forward to the AIs trained primarily on marketing posts.
