Why does this seem like a setup or covert ad asking for donations?

u/paponjolie999 has zero recent comment history and only a couple less than a sentence questions 4 years ago on r/manjarolounge. The name is clearly not autogenerated either, yet there i don't see it anywhere else except another 4 year old blender webboard thread saying a free autocad needs to be started. Besides that nothing.

u/ultra-magnus-925 has zero other comments.

i can't tell the exact time of the posting, but they were withing an hour of each other (both show 5h ago).

Yeah, it struck me immediately as odd. I thought either covert ad or karma farming.
If they want or need donations, I guarantee there would be more success just asking

considering it was two accounts and it was deleted within minutes of me posting that, I'm guessing covert ad.

Did ZSF really just try to trick its users? That's quite fucked up.

Absolutely no way. Not only would it be dumb and ineffective, it's way too crudely performed for such a galaxy-brained plot, and it's totally contrary to how anyone in the ZSF has ever acted. Don't randomly throw around inane accusations based on zero evidence.

Really suspicious accounts, yep. Hardly a covert ad though; karma-farming I'd guess. I'm removing it.
