You realize you have to pay an employee to do that right? Odds are it’s still more cost effective to just buy ads.

"Organic" advertising though, the current big thing. It's the word-of-mouth from internet strangers. Supposedly converts better.

How do you go about trying to track the conversion rate on organic advertising-cum-Reddit post? It seems like it'd be impossible without the consent of Reddit.

I don't understand the meaning of saying an employee is paid to do that. You might also pay a marketing agency to do it. The point is, Reddit doesn't get paid. As someone who uses Reddit everyday, I never see their ads, but I do notice posts that mention specific brands, websites, companies, etc.
