Ah, yeah, I knew what you meant. I just thought it was funny imagining the serious tone of Blade Runner’s replicants pasted onto Reddit bots astroturfing for Burger King.
live in fear, isn’t it? That’s what it is to be a corporate troll manipulating public opinion.
I can only imagine being paid to post “company” opinions in internet forums (my company pretty much trains / pays us to keep their name out of internet forums…) It seems like it would just be… depressing, soul sucking, dreary, dreadful but not particularly fear inducing.
I don’t think we know what the actual figure is because this blog post ostensibly fabricates this alleged 2020 study.
Edit: But of course this post is taking off anyway because Lemmy users are soooo much more discerning than those dumbass Reddit users.

The headline also does not say the same thing that the post claims!
Headline: “15% of content” --> every 6th or 7th post or comment is a corporate troll
Article: “15% of subreddits contain” --> the vast majority of subreddits contain no troll content
Actual study: [file not found]
I also cannot find any Pew research study resembling the one described. The link is a 2017 report that doesn’t mention reddit.
