NASCAR and the City of Chicago should be putting marketing money into social media propaganda like Reddit. Would be irresponsible for them not to.
How many of these posts and comments are directly from these campaigns?
No idea. But it could be a significant portion.
The City of Chicago should not be putting one square penny of my taxpayer money towards promoting this private event that is usurping the city's main public park on the 4th of July, disrupting a metropolis of 10 million people including 22 separate CTA bus lines, which was negotiated under the cover of darkness by a mayor who was so corrupt, arrogant and stupid that she got ejected after a single term.
I agree with your sentiment but this is Chicago, my lemon. Corrupt mayors doing corrupt things to benefit themselves and their friends is very on-brand.
