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.
Wait a second. Reddit is reaching out to someone currently in jail because he is suspected to have run a human trafficking ring? And they want to work with THIS dude? Jfc…

“Human trafficking” sounds so much nicer than “rape and enslavement” which is what he’s specifically charged with.
Let’s split the diff and go with: human trafficking, rape, and enslavement.
More stonks require more clicks, gotta get that engagement, gotta hold people’s attention, and nothing quite does that like controversial assholes. All profit-based social media inevitably ends up hooked on rage, imo, as it’s the best way to anchor a user’s attention and get more ads in front of them.
ITT: People complaining about an automated email that gets send to a huge largely uncurated mailing list. This is so very obviously not an email someone at reddit personally addressed to Andrew Tate, let alone personally selected him to be added to the mailing list.
Seriously, people, there’s plenty to complain about without making up new stuff.
I’ve explained this in the description and various comments but I suppose I’ll repeat it here, but I have an email alias that is essentially almost a typosquat of one he likely does use, so some marketing company likely stuck it in their list on accident and fed it to loads of other companies.
This email is clearly automated but I did receive two more personalized outreach attempts last year, and I receive almost weekly personalized outreach from other companies due to the similarity in email. I know who they were intended for because they had a name set in the “to” field.
Why not then post the personalized emails? This particular email just doesn’t look incriminating to me. Sure it is POSSIBLE that someone at Reddit specifically added him to the email list, but that’s hardly the most likely explanation.
Because I wanted to share something I found humorous because of the context preceding it, but don’t have copies of that context anymore because it was so long ago.
My apologies if you’re unlucky enough to share the same name as that no talent ass clown.
He could just go by “Andy” instead of “Andrew”
No way. Why should OP change? He’s not the one who sucks.
What kind of corpo bullshit is this
Basically they’re saying that they’re going to browse posts regarding applicable products and “recommend” those and boosts with fake upvotes
Basically you’re going to have advertisements penetrate through legitimate discussions in the form of a “random real person.”

Joke aside, I’m not sure how we’re supposed to believe what you said without any reference to the moron in the post? I assume your email is something like his name, but there’s no way to confirm.
I’ve received a couple less cookie-cutter emails directly sent to this email alias with the name field set to “Andrew Tate” and references in the body to him. Unfortunately I tend to mark them as spam and move on, and they get deleted over time. Last outreach was mid last year from one of their sales guys.
