This. I still lurk reddit for information, but I will never contribute. Advertisers these days only care about interaction anyway, so I doubt lurking significantly impacts the profitability one way or the other.

I think you should do you and browse whatever you want. I still use Reddit when looking for opinions on products and services because there's nothing close to the discussion on there. But visiting the site (without an adblocker) 100% still generates ad revenue and is what matters to ad companies, regardless of actually participating in the discussion.

So wait visiting with Firefox+ad block doesn't make Reddit money?

The clicks, even with an adblocker, are still worth something, right? Especially if they're tied to an account.
