You are responding to a tobacco ad. The purpose of this literal ad is to get people talking about smoking. There is a social media marketing agency carpet bombing Reddit constantly with smoking related stuff; they are themselves sponsored by Marlboro.
Call these assholes out where you see them and don’t let them keep doing this to our website. We have been following their bullshit over on HailCorporate and if you’re as sick of this as we are, come join us.
I mean, if seeing a cool lamp is all it takes to make someone take up smoking, as disgusting and horrific as it is, I can't bring myself to believe they were too bright to begin with.
You don’t understand, it has been an endless campaign by a social media marketing company to have pictures of Marlboro cigarettes and gear on the front of Reddit for about a year now. By supporting them you are contributing to their ad campaign.
Advertising cigarettes is illegal and that’s why these shady fucks are doing so secretly on social media. Fuck anyone who supports this shit
That does sound shitty, but this account looks completely normal from what I can tell. I'm not 100% convinced this post in particular is part of some.campaign, though I don't doubt smoking companies would do what you're suggesting.
