I fully believe that you aren't paying him directly to do this, but I don't believe that any human would shill so hard (and always mentioning the price and the same gist of 'it's fantastic' etc). Any chance it's a replyguy or similar test, either by someone else in your org without your knowledge or just by the creator themselves as I guess they need to do some 'live testing' before charging real 'customers'.
I wish it was that obvious. I think it's like criminals - the obvious ones get caught, and people go "criminals are pretty dumb", but there are plenty of smart ones too.
I posted this example earlier today https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40208741 of a reddit account shilling Sourcegraph. They flat-out deny that this's a bot, but it's clear to Me.
Can't trust anything or anyone any more. Pretty sad.
I trust you, so I will take you at your word that you didn't commission ReplyGuy or anyone similar to do this.
But did you read the link? Because I'm not convinced by "This is not an instance of what you're talking about." I have never seen a real person behave like that before.
Are either of the following possible?
- Someone on your team purchased ReplyGuy or similar, or is trialing it without your knowledge?
- ReplyGuy or similar is doing this as a test, maybe without informing you?
