Reddit has ads?
Ever since advertising became extremely intrusive, it’s been game over for them. I’d rather put effort into hiding the ads (Adblocker), switching browser if necessary (Chrome v3 bs) and switching platforms (Lemmy) then seeing them again.
Idc about ads as much as their duplicitous censoring, shadow banning and shadow deleting posts. You need to recheck your posts in a private tab periodically to see which ones have been censored to the outside world, as they try to dupe the users to believe its still up on their end. Scumbags. Its not a new thing either, but considering how heavy handed they’ve been, I suspect spez will be all too happy to devolve the platform further under this new ‘climate’ we’re all in. Never trust Reddit. I have faith in Lemmy to succeed it. Decentralized platforms are the only way forward for unimpeded free speech.
steal your food, then toss you table scraps
So generous of them
Yeah, but old browser extension has let me block all advertisers (and all of them are equally my most-hated) forever, so reddit is cordially invited to get fucked. And they can construe that as ‘encouraging violence’ all they like.
Straight Luigi’d.
This would have only had a chance of working prior to adblockers becoming so rampant. They’re over a decade too late and now advertisers are just viewed as “the enemy”
I think lack of goodwill plays into this, too. A lot of smaller sites can get away with stuff like “OK guys, the servers aren’t free, so we need to run ads.” and then have people super thrilled with them if there’s an option to limit or disable ads for donors.
On reddit, I think the attitude would basically be “get fucked, spez!”
What a stupid idea. I want to block advertisers forever, not just for a year lol. And I can actually do that by installing an ad blocker.
I love that my first post is to say that I don’t give a solitary airborne fuck about Reddit and their ads because I’m here instead. I hope they enjoy the enshittification all the way down their throats.
Hear, hear
Welcome to a non-centralized and controlled website!
Too little, too late. I’m on Lemmy now :)
… so they can learn what ads you’re willing to tolerate.
I am unironically starting to like twitter more than reddit
Abd I fucking hate twitter
So you’re starting to hate reddit more than X. Understandable. I think the social media companies are lost, they had their time.
twitter*
Xitter* (pronounced shitter)
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ad on Reddit Thank baby jebus for ad blockers.
I doubt that’s true. Plenty of posts are ads, without being marked as such. They just do it without paying reddit
they do have it, just not excessive like most sites.
On their mobile app is one every few posts. I’ve seen as many as one every three in the main feed. It was simply unbearable.
I meant I never see ads because I use an ad blocker.
my ublock lets me block all the advertisers for more than a year on reddit
considering what reddit has become, im glad i had adblock as well.
The best reddit control to block ads is too not use Reddit lol. The second best is ublock origin. I’ve been using method two since like 2013 and have zero issues or regrets.
I use rdx for the few subs I like following updates on
And Reddit ReVanced!
I don’t see any Reddit ads and won’t ever because its dead to me
