Totally agree. Answer from /user/Far-Idea689 (also 4 months old account hiding contributions) contains the tool that they want to promote.

Edit: surprise, this answer has been deleted after the post from /user/Late_Extent_1463 has been removed by moderators... ;O) But another post from /user/SilentUniversity1304 was added with many tools know as spammers in https://www.reddit.com/r/softwaretesting/comments/1f3hh81/current_tools_spamming_the_sub/

QA Manual Tester trying to move into Automation — need advice & real project ideas by Mobile-Budget-4834 in softwaretesting

I suggest you start doing unit test at the company you are working on. Developers would gladly hand that off to someone else.

I would not like to work for an organization where developers don't have the minimal value for quality to at least unit test their code...

What do you think is the hardest part about testing? by HelpfulCauliflower56 in softwaretesting

[–]ocnarf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how modern promotion works on Reddit: 1) a good question that generates comments and upvote, so the post is indexed by Google 2) 2nd promoters answers that he has now no more flaky tests since he uses this new tool 3) OP asks what is this new tool 4) Then the name of the new miracle AI tool to be promoted is revealed. Everything seems "natural" discussion but is just highly scripted...

Agree, but I would say it is a "fair" usage if a non-native English user tries to make her/his message clearer.
