TL;DR: Reddit is removing the option to opt out of ad personalization, targeting ads based on user activity. Some specific ad categories can still be limited, but there’s no more opt-out option.
That’s not the only way companies get data about you though.
Nobody said it was.
I was mostly replying to the top level comment about choosing companies/products that respect your privacy. It’s pretty much impossible to tell if a company cares about or respects your privacy just from the sign up form.
It read as though you thought picking out one particular case that I didn’t address somehow refuted what I wrote. (Which it doesn’t, of course, because I wasn’t making an exhaustive list.)

I see. That was confusing, since the top-level comment wasn’t mine, yet you replied to me. Thanks for clarifying.
