redditors will now have the ability to ‘Hide’ an ad from their feed – and when you do, we’ll automatically hide future ads from that advertiser account for at least a year (you can re-hide the ad after that period of time).

      Reddit has a lot of content and users, I had to switch to Lemmy after being IP banned from reddit (called too many nazis “nazis” I guess) but I really miss the news feed I had cultivated there.

      I think they reached a point where their user base was predominantly mainstream, not tech-savvy enough to know the difference.

      I mean, how else can any site survive on advertising when the ads are so obnoxious and it’s so easy to block them? Either the site is great and the ads are non-intrusive enough that I’ll make an exception in uBlock, or I’m never seeing the ads in the first place.
