Wow, tools for putting ads in /r/BuyItForLife must really have corporations salivating

Are they? Because they want to sell you planned obsolescence dogshit, not quality products that last a lifetime.

Yeah that's why I'd say they're salivating. They want to slip plausible adds into comment sections for their shitty products in a place where people go to buy things long term, thereby sabotaging the very point of BIFL.
