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.
Ads have become bad enough I have decided to be actively malicious towards them with AdNauseam, which clicks them all in the background for me. Advertisers pay as if someone clicked on the advert. Every. Single. Advert.
The only one that loses out is the advertiser. If anything the website profits from it.
Reddit has ads?
[insert meme template png here]
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.
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.
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.
... 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.

Xitter* (pronounced shitter)
Lemmy let's me not think about advertisers.
