Tesla might be the best example ever of this practice.

In the future we are going to find out Tesla had a social media team that "maintained Tesla's reputation".

They did this by astroturfing and paying for upvotes/likes.

Tesla claims to not spend money on marketing, but I consider that a dubious claim.

It's not marketing it's evangelizing.

Someone should tell all the people with marketing manager roles at Tesla that their employer isn't spending any money on them...

Not sure people think Tesla doesn’t have a marketing team. They’re currently hiring [1] dozens of marketers all over the world.

A family member recently left a role in marketing at Tesla due to... well, Tesla not spending any money on them.
