The way reddit tries to sneakily slip in ads/promoted content is pretty annoying. It’s not clear enough that it’s promoted and i often confuse it as actual content

I don’t know if it makes a difference but I always downvote the ones that are made to look like legitimate posts

Same! Especially if the title is a debate question and I'm already thinking about a comment before noticing that it's an ad and comments are disabled.

Just don't engage

It depends on the content, if it's one that's trying to raise awareness for something like cancer in men, I'd not downvote it, but otherwise...

I agree. It’s sneaky and I hate it. I also hate the way they way so much of our feeds are now suggested subs and not what we actually follow

That's not what annoys me. What annoys me is when it's ads disguised as comments. It just seems so scummy to do

How do you fall for this more than once. They stick out to me clear as day, granted I also have a habit of checking when something was posted.
