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’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
They deleted my account for me. Apparently being anti-Nazi is a bad thing there.
I got my previous account permabanned by saying Palestinians have a right to defend themselves by any means necessary. 15 years, over a million karma and several of my huge subs suddenly without a moderator. And now those subs are garbage.
when i got my 7 temp ban on worldnews for criticizing israel early in the war i just avoided the sub completely,(and yes i did end up switching to a old throwaway now got perma banned this year.
I made r/FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR what it is today. I took it from 150 subs in 2018 to over 1M subs by 2020. I was the one who initially implemented the “Banhammer bot”.
Looking back, all that work I put into building it up meant absolutely nothing to reddit besides getting them more users for their eventual IPO. I put up with a lot of shit, including an attempted coup by r/fatpeoplehate refugees and a stint where one of the posts made it to r/all somehow… That was a fun night. Luckily I was already up with my newborn before shit hit the fan completely haha
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ad on Reddit Thank baby jebus for ad blockers.
they do have it, just not excessive like most sites.
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.
I doubt that’s true. Plenty of posts are ads, without being marked as such. They just do it without paying reddit
Still selling as much of your data as they can though, regardless of how many He Get Us ads you see
Getting enough money from those sweet LLM training data deals.

This is the exact ad I thought of lol
I haven’t seen reddit ads in at least two years
Lemmy let’s me not think about advertisers.

Nobody cares.
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.
I used my own content controls to block reddit for a year. Well, a bit longer so far.
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.
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.
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.
And Reddit ReVanced!
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!
I don’t see any Reddit ads and won’t ever because its dead to me
