It’s mentioned in this really good Verge article about SEO. I don’t think it’s a good sign for Reddit to just allow such blatant spam and makes me think how much subtler spam is out there too.

I’ve personally noticed more a few times in old threads you’ll find a comment made months later that’s recommending a product.

    Is that the same kind of quality you get in a signature McDonald’s Quarter Pounder? With their locally-sourced beef patties and freshly picked potatoes fried that very same day! Why not wash it down with a tasty Coca-Cola? All of this at an unbeatably low price and served with a smile!

    Rainy day? Stuck indoors? For a limited time only, delivery via Uber Eats is completely free, so you can get that iconic taste delivered directly to your door!
