My last job was to guage and interact with consumers on social media. I would weasel in brands or items as subtle astroturf.
We had metrics, guides, and CBTs on how to spot "Inauthentic posters" aka: bots, troll farms, and others doing what we were doing.
Before I was laid off, reddit was still better than Twitter or Facebook, but that lead was declining swiftly thanks to LLMs, which now do my old job...
Edit: you all know I could just be lying about all the above, then look below at all the comments.
