When I think about why I stopped using Reddit and didn’t just switch to the official app when they killed the API, I forget that the official app has ads.
Not just the normal corporate shilling posts but actual literal ads right in the app.
I’m sure you can pay to remove them but nah.
It reminded me that if you browsed Reddit from Spain many of the ads were literal scams, like the typical fake photo of a celebrity or even the Spanish king recommending you to invest in a very fishy crypto platform.
Spanish users were complaining and reporting these ads for months but last time I checked these ads were still running.
The conclusion is that Reddit didn’t even check who is running the ads and with what purpose as long as they pay them, and of course they don’t give a crap if their users get scammed.
Of course they don’t care if their users get scammed. They are also scamming them.
