If someone reads the reddit post and decides to buy the Sriracha competitor then who has been ripped off? It's a win-win, competitor has gotten business and the customer has bought a product they now perceive to be superior.

People should probably be more aware that the social media they use is astroturfed to hell and back but marketing and advertising is far too demonized.

Advertising without disclosing to sponsorship is literally illegal because we as a society have decided that it's a social ill.
