Damn, the ads… (lemmy.world)

Haven’t touched Reddit since 7/1 but decided to go back and unsubscribe from every sub today. Figure even if I’m not an active user, I’m also now not a number they can point to as success.

But holy shit, the ads I had to see. They’re bigger and more more blatant than I remember. I can only assume that they throw them right at the top of every feed to get that view before you leave.

Fuck Reddit.

On old.reddit, ads were being inserted as regular posts when I last visited. It's like they're trying to drive people away.

Were you using an ad blocker?

I use an adblocker, and the ads disguised as posts appeared for me.

I use uBlock Origin, but I guess it's possible that it malfunctioned that day.
