Promoting products on reddit by blatantly advertising in the comment section? Who would do such a thing?
As soon as the “just use site:reddit.com to get around SEO bullshit” became public knowledge it was only a matter of time before this happened.

Also, speaking of manipulating comment sections with posts designed to promote products by mentioning them naturally, Academy Award and Golden Globe nominated movie, “Barbie”, is now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services.
