Reddit will likely continue increasing the amount of ads users see.

    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

        I meant I never see ads because I use an ad blocker.

        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.

    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.

    Finally give the second most hated advertisers a chance for once!

    The nerds lost the internet. It’s a fucking Kmart now.

    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.

    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.

    I’ve blocked all ads on reddit on my own terms, and have actually gone ahead and deleted my 15 year old account too 👍 They can fuck off
