So I’m scrolling through All New and on these memes I’m seeing comments saying stuff like “I see xyz company advertising on Lemmy” even though there’s little to no brand indication on the post. (Other that some kind of German meat + beans, but even then no brand came to mind for me)
If this AI company driven advertising is real on Lemmy what are the admins doing to prevent this from happening?
It would benefit users if you could attempt to elaborate on the question or concern in your title.

People are often overly paranoid about online advertising. Most big companies are not engaging in subliminal product placement in memes. I’ve worked for big companies who have attempted organic viral marketing and it’s usually really obvious.
Nope.
No idea what you are talking about and I hang out in New.
Can you link to one of these posts?
Looks like OP is talking about the comments in this. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/4730113
No idea how people could possibly think this is an ad though. Some people are just not screwed on right.

Eh if all you’re thinking about is how everything is an ad they’ve got you wrapped around their fingers hardcore. You can very easily talk about things that are in your daily life without advertising.

Just because someone thinks thier experience with something has been good and they rationalize it as “the best” doesn’t mean they are defacto advertising.
If you want to try insulting someone because you are misunderstanding yourself, go somewhere else.

Wow. Just wow.

You have that right.

We can report, and then block them ourselves.
As for my experience, I haven’t noticed any obvious advertisements.

Ah, so it seems. I may not have seen them because i browse by all and top six hours.
I may have to sort by new for fifteen minutes before i finish scrolling lemmy. to help everyone report and block this trash.
If I saw a company advertise on lemmy I’d respect it. Especially if they donated to the project.
