Now a red bull ad, nice. How much do they pay you?
No one else has mentioned that brands seem to be dripping into lemmy. Honestly, never seeing stealth ads, except for kagi which I’ve resigned to, is my biggest draw for Lemmy.
For what it's worth, I'm 100% just sharing memes like I do everyday, and this paranoid dude you're replying to should be ignored. Before this, he has accused me of working for the Oreo company, McDonald's, and a couple of others that I can't remember. It's nuts.
You don’t strike me as being an influencer, but seeing brand jokes in a mostly brand-free space is a bit striking. Given your post rate, it would surprising for some not to have a brand. I wasn’t specifically pointing this at you.
Thanks, and yeah that's exactly it. I post a ton, and occasionally someone makes a meme that involves a product or something, but this one didn't strike me as an ad. I figured you could sub in any energy drink, because the joke is that you still feel terrible and they're not worth it. Energy drinks are trash.
I also post about Star Trek a lot, which is an IP I love, and I'm not on their payroll either. Lol
Have you decided which reddit power user you want us to call you the "x of lemmy" yet?
Lol, I don't remember any reddit power users, so take your pick!
I was very much a lurker on reddit and only started posting so much here to try to support Lemmy's growth. I'd love to see it be a real competitor to corporate-owned social media.
No. I wouldn't do that to anyone. None of them are 'clean' so.
