>>447855Shilling is definitely real on /g/. And especially on sites like reddit.
The key is to mask the advertising as a community opinion and as advice given inside a group of friends and not as external effort. Why would you bother with buying ad space on a website when everyone is using adblock, won't click on shit and it just seems forced when you can just make the community believe your products are great because the community around them seems to think that way?
The wonderful part is that you only need to seed such thoughts into a group once and they'll start echoing whatever you say for years and years, eventually doing your advertisement for free.
Reminder that a 4chan pass allows posting without filling a captcha and therefore allows botting.

These boards are less chaotic than you'd think on your first week.
