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.

    Good on ya for never using the app. Only reason I did was because I was an Alien Blue guy. They gave free premium to all AB users for a long time so I never saw the ads and didn’t know any differently.

    When that expired I def got punched in the face with subversive ads and it was bullshit. That was when I switched to Apollo.

    These ads I’m seeing now are the modern equivalent of popups. It’s Reddit’s fuck you to me which I’ve returned in kind.
