I've had a similar experience. If you advertise to the Reddit (without specifying a subreddit), or one of the default subreddits, then expect to get a lot of flak in the comments unless you're advertising something that jives very well with Reddit's attitude on business "ethics". Most of the committed advertisers will also astroturf a couple of positive comments on different accounts to try to set the 'mood' for a comments page on their ad. Your mileage may vary with that, depends on how conspicuous/overt the comments are.

Spot on on all counts.
