If you glance over at Mastodon, there are absolutely content creators and people trying to self-promote. I suppose they do here too on Lemmy/PieFed, but its just not as well seen.
I don't necessarily see it as a problem though if its relevant to the community and its something you can choose to disengage with... And also if the person posting it isn't aggressively spamming every relevant community.
Lemmynsfw was full of self promotion spammed across any community that's remotely related.
So?
Are they posting questions about like ,"hey fellow kids who makes the best leather shoes? Only for the next post "I ready like these" and a link to shoes. Reddit got so lazy with the ads
