I haven’t seen any ads thus far on lemmy and it’s pretty great.
Comment on It’s going good so far 🤞🤞
TheGoldenGod@lemmy.world 10 months agoI really hope it works out as smoothly as this, it feels like advertising sneaks it’s way in somehow though. 😣

I’m more worried about the advertisers sneaking in through “bragging”, like Reddit saw. 😣
Cruxifux@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Bragging? I’m not familiar with this. What does that mean in terms of advertising?
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 months ago
It’s a form of guerrilla advertising where they play on FOMO and try to make people jealous of someone who is “loving” the product. It’s one of the harder forms of shilling to detect because it can sound just like a regular person who actually does enjoy a specific product.

I’ll admiit, bragging wasn’t the right word, but I meant all the PR teams the enshittify social media like fleas, by pretending to be a run of the mill user, attempting to build hype.

So all the Sync posts aren’t ads in disguise?
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 months ago
Yeah that’s what I was thinking. I haven’t seen a pop up or a banner ad; but I’ve seen plenty of ads in the form of a creator trying to sell their creation and other shill stuff. Not nearly as often as on Reddit, but it’s not something you can escape from on social media.

I’m fine with that. I just don’t want to be reminded that hellofresh exists every five minutes.
Cruxifux@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I don’t know what a sync post is either man haha

Really, you just need to Think Different.
