Reddit forces personalized ads, starts X-like user payment program

Like it or not, Reddit wants to "improve ad performance."

I left a couple of months ago. Couldn’t be happier.

The writing is on the wall. The leader thinks the Genius-with-hair-transplants is a superstar, despite destroying a globally recognised brand. Inspired by this, Spez is trying to get Reddit ready for an IPO. This means, maximise profits by any means.

    Your last paragraph is precisely why I deleted all of my niche topic content that had a ton of votes. I didn’t want Reddit making SEO money with ads on my content since the service I used to post it was being forced to shut down.

    I haven’t had a Reddit account since 1 month after Apollo shut down. Deleted everything.

    I do visit still, using bookmarks, to the old subdomain, with Adblock.
