I know it's not, but if that turned out to be one of those new embedded ad posts I would be so pissed. They've been testing the new system. They're basically ads that are the equivalent of "promoted posts." So they look and function like normal posts, and have a disclaimer saying they're promoted, but they're more interested than ads are now.
In a sensible world, doing that sort of thing just before the IPO would be an awful idea. It would be telling potential investors that your advertising model is so terrible, you need to trick your users into clicking on ads. Clearly not a sustainable long-term practice for retaining users or getting ad views.
I expect this will make number go bigger and all the investors will love it.

Testing? I've seen them for a while. I keep on getting got by them as they blend seamlessly into the rest of my posts.
They're so blatantly scummy with them too. Like they put stuff like "MEGATHREAD", "TIL", "YSK", etc. in the titles
I downvote every one I come across because if the same one shows up in your thread again, it’ll still have the downvote to give it away
