They make them money because:

  • they use reddit
  • spez gets some nice usage stats to show off
  • as a direct consequence, advertisers keep paying to put their ads
  • also as a direct consequence, investors’ confidence in reddit continues to recover; there’s a real possibility that, when it IPOs, it will actually go for a decent price

Now, if enough people go commit ad-block, and advertisers somehow become wise to that fact… then maybe it will hurt reddit’s bottom line (at which point spez will start trying to emulate youtube’s anti-ad stuff).

But as it stands, especially if most of reddit’s usage is through reddit’s mobile app… I’m not really sure how you can block ads there.

You can’t go to place on a mobile browser. It pops up a message that you have to use the app or a desktop browser.

I was able to get there via mobile browser. Reddit has said that they’ve been testing disabling mobile reddit for some people but not all.

I’m curious. What’s Youtube’s anti-ad stuff? I don’t remember the last time I saw an ad on Youtube.

I’ll go without youtube before i watch their shitty ads. Unobtrusive ads, fine. Contextual ads instead of invasive behavioral ads, maybe. But the current system is trash and they can fuck off.

Those are fair points. Regarding adblock in the official app, you can use ReVanced to patch an .apk similar to how you block ads in YouTube.
