Bots targeting the r/GamingLaptop's subreddit with blatant MSI advertising in posts — mods allege marketing bots are flooding the forums with MSI-promoting posts
The r/GamingLaptops subreddit is facing an onslaught of MSI product promotion allegedly orchestrated by paid actors and bots, according to moderators. These actors are flooding buying advice threads with repetitive MSI recommendations. Moderators suspect the accounts behind the promotion are a mix of bots and paid actors from "poorer countries." The subreddit, with over 472,000 weekly visitors, is urging users to report suspicious posts and disclose any affiliations with laptop companies.
