Somewhat related: Since a few weeks I'm regularly getting a Facebook ad with the title "I want to work at [company name]. Can you help?" from someone who seems to be interested in a job at the company at which I'm working. Anyone else who noticed similar ads?
Related to your story, it's either this person really wants to work for your company or you're part of a huge bigger list of employees whose company the person wants to work for. So the person might have just lumped your company with the others in the ad targeting set up.

This doesn't work anymore. All the ad platforms now require thousand(s) of users in a targeted audience.
Minimum custom audience size on Facebook is currently set at 20. You can target them by email if you have it.

Is it just me or do conversations he posted between him and his roommate seem a little off... They just don't read like any natural conversation I've ever had or have seen, and I'm not sure people naturally talk like that.
I'm surprised this worked. I would have assumed he had adblock of some sort.
Why would you assume so?
He is the CEO of a technology company.
The necessary knowledge about the existence of content blockers as well as the technological literacy to set them up is probably a given.
He also probably has a high value attached to his attention, given that he is in quite a power position. This, I'd argue, would make a greater reflection of media habits more likely.
Additionally there might be the security/privacy aspect. Executives should really focus on security as their devices might be of greater value than your average grandmother's Scrabble tablet.

Not sure why you are being downvoted. Yes, you can buy upvotes on Reddit. It's about 5 bucks for a couple hundred, often more than enough to get to the front page of mid sized subreddit.
But egregiously violating the TOS and general spirit of reddit seems like not the best way to get a job there.
