It feels very artificial, people posting to promote things, a lot of the time the posts are very thinly veiled.

Nothing on here, but product placement, people who work for specific sites, people like duckbear but more shady, that kind of stuff.

The amusing part is where you think any company on Earth gives enough of a shit about this site to pay anyone to post fake opinions here.

Come now, advertisers covet that too-stubborn-to-leave-a-dying-forum demographic!

To be fair, they might not just post on gfaqs, but other sites as well

If you're going to pay for that, you're at least going to require those people to go to sites that actually have a worthwhile demographic of sufficient size to make your investment worthwhile.

10 years ago, GameFAQs would have had value for those sorts of advertisers. Today? Not so much.

Gfaqs still has advertisements.

So that person doing that theoretical job would still have a job posting here, but they probably wouldn't get paid as much as posting on other sites

Lots of sites have automated ads. But actively hiring actual people to spend time every day actively engaging in social media in an attempt to guerilla market is a significant level beyond that.

There are a lot of more useful sites to market to, and shill posters are a finite resource.

The automated banner ads (the only ones that show up under NoScript) adverstise the stupidest stuff

Who would ever play Forge of Empires or River Combat? Why would I ever get a selfie drone, or care about women's hair styles, or a 16GB PROPRIETARY storage format for... photos and photos only?! WTF
