It's mentioned in this really good Verge article about SEO. I don't think it's a good sign for Reddit to just allow such blatant spam and makes me think how much subtler spam is out there too.

I've personally noticed more a few times in old threads you'll find a comment made months later that's recommending a product.

I refuse to go back to Reddit to even look but this is my fear for a long time now. Loosing trust to any conversation in the internet.
