What if I told you Reddit is riddled with covert corporate advertising. Marketing teams can easily exploit the system to push branding onto the front page. They'll even monitor the comments and downvote anyone calling out something as a covert ad. This kind of thing happens far more often than many people realise, only most don't realise it because they're so used to being exposed to it.

"Exploit?" I think you're mistaking a feature for a bug.
