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?

    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.

      Go back and read what I wrote again, slowly. Which part leads you to believe that “all [I’m] thinking about is how everything is an ad”? Because that’s not what I said.

        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.

          If you want to try insulting someone because you are misunderstanding yourself, go somewhere else.

          The irony of you throwing shade at me and then saying this is palpable. You really need to chill, bro. Here’s the main idea of my comment, reduced to its essence: “There are different ways of looking at it.” Unless you argue that such is not the case (which would be absurd, considering there are in fact different ways of looking at it), then I suggest you go find somewhere else to be an insufferable pedant and leave me alone. I’m not looking for an argument or debate.

          So do you disagree that there are different ways of looking at it? That your perspective is the One Truth above all others?

          Go take a xanax or something.
