/c/HailCorporate is to document times when people act as unwitting advertisers for a product as well as to document what appear to be legitimate adverts via native advertising.

What acts as an ad, is an ad, no matter if it was put there sneakily or because someone has become inured to a brand so far that they don't even know they are a walking ad.

We have strict "Don't be a jerk" rules that are enforced with immediate banning. The guidelines are more likely to result in a post removal or warning, but breaking them could result in a ban.

Everywhere I look there are community URLs that advertise lemmy communities! If you comment, you’ll see not only ads for your community but you’re making an ad for yourself. The links are everywhere!

This specific community also has a lot of these, though in this case it is (obviously) on purpose.

It feels a bit weird helping advertisements spread, despite it being through an anti-advertisement community: What are your thoughts on censoring the names of the advertisee(s)? (Assuming they can be separated cleanly)
