If they wanted it to be believable they should’ve at least put a few uh’s and you know’s in the quote.

I also see this on LinkedIn a lot and report it every time.

I only ever get the Jesus ads on Reddit. Wonder what that means.

Why is that CBC reporter even sharing it as news?
EDIT: Thanks for commenting it’s a fake page on a different link. I definitely overlooked that in the screenshot.

Not a fan of your title, OP. Sounds like he’s a willing participant in this.

They are promoting him better than the NHL has.
CanucksKickAzz
I’ve reported/blocked so many ads, and literally 15 posts later I see it again. Let’s face it, there’s nobody in the reporting department.

Reddit seems to brazenly disregard ad standards.

reddit supporting scams? i thought redditors told me this platform is better than tiktok twitter or instagram😠

Man I wish someone had told me that this was a scam before I invested all my first round picks in Griffin Reinhart

If you ever see something claiming to “scare big _____(insert industry here)” or to be an opportunity to “make millions” it’s almost certainly a scam. All of these scam adds use nearly identical verbiage, and what sucks is they take such little effort to put together that if they work even a single time it’s worth it for the scammer

The scammers hijack all kinds of celebrities, and it’s not just reddit.

according to these images, dude can’t even afford a blade on his hockey stick.

Hilarious to think that McDavid is out here being the best in hockey yet still has time to strike fear in the big Banks, Connor you are a hero

Spez is the face of an ipo scam being promoted on his investors

You guys have ads on Reddit?!
How people can use the internet without an Ad Blocker still makes no sense to me.
InevitableAvalanche
I only take financial advice from people who have won a cup. Kurtis MacDermid is my guy.
He invested in GME and held. Diamond hands! MOASS any day now!

I also hear Elon Musk is giving away money to all Canadians!

no need to invest. just make roblox games

Yeah, I’ve seen how he impressed he was with himself after putting a TV in his bathroom. He’s got his rocket maths sorted out for sure.

That investment? Rogers Place Stanley Cup Finals tickets.

I used to never even see this kind of shit in my feed but now that I’m forced onto the reddit app it’s literally mixed into my scrolling. Yet another reason baconreader was superior. Their ads were for real life things like Amazon.ca and it was just at the bottom of my screen, I barely even noticed them. Now it’s impossible to not see this shit.

Fuck there’s so much win in this thread holy

You can tell its a scam because the NHL would never market McDavid
LasVegasBoy13
McDavid and Draisaitl have been scamming the Oilers out of winning a cup since 2014 so this is old news really
wooble
But Connor already convinced me to gamble all of my money on sports!

The top stickied comment is not entirely true, Reddit has their own Ad system that you can pay them directly for Ads on Reddit. You can pick which specific subreddits you want to target too.

They are using [a dead journalist’s name](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/cbc-news-journalist-janice-johnston-dies-at-62-1.6713738) to push the scam too. Shameless.
How do they have a fake article on cbc
I’d hook up with Galchenyuk for advices
