It is the exact same as reddit, only there’s less content and comments.
The people, mods, bots, and content are all just the same. There’s even still people shilling covert adds on here. It’s just cheaper and easier for them to get to the front page of lemmy, since you only need like 20 bot/fake accounts.
The last one I remember was an “article” dealing with some web analytics stuff that all the bigger websites use. It was written to look like someone not associated with any of the different ones talked about, but there was one that was written about more favorably that happened to be cheaper than what was commonly used. The comment section had a couple accounts agreeing but it was all pretty obvious. I’ll see if I can find it.
Hm not sure what to make of this. The author of the article states pretty clearly what company they are affiliated with. The comments seem to push a product called Splunk which doesn’t appear in the article at all.
People started recommending splunk in the comments to troll against the OP that submitted the link to lemmy. Also, when it popped up on lemmy at had like 15 votes and no negative votes, which is really high and odd to happen in the instance. Especially if you look at how many down votes it has on it now.

I haven’t recognized any posts as covert ads here I think. Can you give an example?

I was wrong on the authors part.
