This is the third attempt they’ve made to work with that guy that actually got routed to me because their salespeople don’t do their due diligence. Shocking.

Edit; a little extra context: I have an email alias on a domain similar to one he might use, and regularly receive email addressed to him. Reddit marketing folks reached out in a less cookie cutter manner a couple times last year, this is more of a mailing list outreach attempt.

      I remember some post that featured a kitchen appliance, and underneath were people talking about, "Is that [brand] [product]? It's so good!"

      Then replies like, "Yes, I also have [brand]'s [other product], I love it!"

      "Did you get [product] with [feature] and [other feature]?"

      They were naming products and features, but I didn't care enough to remember them. It was so blatant though, just ad-copy formatted like a conversation. You could see the massive gleaming fake smiles through the text.
