fun little trick you have to do now because the internet is awful: if someone links to a product, company, or nearly anything in a reddit comment, check their post history to see if their comments primarily involve shilling for these things. companies have caught on that people use reddit for advice and actual human non SEO robot written garbage and have started using it to advertise, posing as regular commenters in a way thats not apparent until you check their post history

There’s also a Firefox/Chrome extension called Behind The Overlay that does all that with one mouse click. Used it for years; what a time saver.
