It seemed like there was a backlash against it. At some point you would get downvoted for citing hailcorporate in comments. If I were more conspiratorial-minded, I would think that Reddit started throwing in downvotes at any comments mentioning hailcorporate, because it would hurt Reddit's image and advertiser-friendliness. But I've noticed that, across social media, some folks seem to get really upset when you point out that a post is fake/marketing/staged. So maybe that's just online culture now...
Edit: there were legitimate issues with people citing hailcorporate on posts that they just didn't like. But that seemed relatively minor to me.
