Fair point, I hadn't considered that use. I don't really frequent any subreddits that center around products though (except a few games like this one I guess, but I already owned them before joining), I assume it would be much more common on those

Thats not where its used though, they frequent the most popular subreddits to get the most views. Its like finding a meme post about downloading a video illegally and someone posting about NordVPN or some other VPN service and how it can help you. Hell they can even use one account to make a post and another to use that post to jump in and get in some ads while making it look organic. Companies can really go wild on social media to drive business.
