are reddit users getting better at spotting promotion?

Reddit users have become hyper-aware of native ads, subtle brand plugs, and staged story-driven marketing.

Are you noticing this drop in engagement on story-based text posts, or on direct resource/tool recommendation threads?
 
yea they def have. sub mods catching it faster now. aged accounts help but u still gotta actually contribute not just post links. mixing real takes with legitimate stuff is the only way to not get flagged instantly
 
yeah for sure. Reddit users can spot the salesy stuff pretty quick now, especially when the post feels like it was written just to push a link. I think being genuinely useful first and only mentioning the product when it actually fits works much better.
 
Yeah definitely. Reddit users can smell promotion from a mile away. Sometimes even a normal helpful post gets called an ad just because you mention a product.
 
yeah, people are much better at spotting promotion now. even a good post can look promotional if the product is mentioned too much.
 
yeah for sure, people are getting better at spotting promo posts, even useful content can look like an ad now lol.

Actually tbh users do not just look at the links but consider the overall intention of the post. If the post appears to be promotional in nature, even a relevant answer is considered promotional.
 
Yeah, definitely. Reddit users and mods seem much quicker to notice obvious promotion now, especially when an account mostly posts links or pitches with little genuine discussion.
 
The problem is that many promotional posts follow the same pattern. People are more likely to trust a post that answers their question naturally without constantly pushing a product or service.
 
Yes, Reddit users have become very smart now. Earlier, if there was a post with good information, people would consider it useful, but now due to more spam and hidden marketing, people look at every post with suspicion. When a post is made only for a product, people understand it, so it is important that the post includes real experience so that it does not seem like marketing but is truly beneficial for people.
