The worst thing I see are people promoting their YouTube channel or game. And those are usually posts, not comment spam or anything.

OHHHH LIKE THAT

Ok now i get the ad thing, my previous comment was all...

"this motherfucker hasn't heard of word of mouth before?"

but yeah, having a discussion about cats, and then someone interjects with something completely off topic and a plug for a good or a service isn't good.

Sorry man, I don't understand what you're trying to say here.

Every link on Voat is a tacit advertisement for something. But there's a difference between posting a single link to a thing you want to share and posting that same link into 20 different threads.

it's something that's been creeping into peoples' speech and text for years and years

Most common among Californians, in my experience. They wear Levi's, not pants, etc. It's gotten so bad that I often don't know the shit they're talking about: "She said my new Fossil looked like crap" "Sorry, man. Was it a cool one, like a trilobite or crinoid?" blank stare

You're saying that people discuss things that can be bought or might be the product of a company like a news site? And that's a conspiracy?

Or you're saying that people ought to use generic terms in their examples or something so instead of /v/AmazonDailyDeals they ought to write /v/MegaOnlineRetailerDailyDeals?

Your description is really vague and you haven't given anyone any exmaples.

I can read the front page just fine. But you have utterly failed to describe what I'm supposed to look for. Stop posting when you're stoned.
