… 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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
I meant I never see ads because I use an ad blocker.
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.
Still selling as much of your data as they can though, regardless of how many He Get Us ads you see
He gets us?
I haven’t seen reddit ads in at least two years
Lemmy let’s me not think about advertisers.
Reddit has ads?
I don’t see any Reddit ads and won’t ever because its dead to me
Too little, too late. I’m on Lemmy now :)
Does Reddit have ads?
I use NextDNS and the (revanced) official Android app, so I haven’t seen an ad on my phone in years.
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!”
