Life is good when you try something new and realize just how annoying it was dealing with ads and fighting against a shitty algorithm.

No more of this 'He Gets Us' bullshit.

I lost track of how many times I tried to block advertising accounts on there, but eventually gave up because blocking them just doesn't fucking work. So glad to be done with that rotten platform now

Oh shit, I had forgotten about "He Gets Us"... Thanks, I guess

The "He Gets Us" ad must be the most derisive ad hosted on Reddit. Nothing but complaints about it.

It was infuriating.

If I wanted to be preached to I'd subject myself to that nonsense.

Wait, I'm just a casual. Did he post an ad saying "he gets us"?! What a tool.

Did he go to Trump's business school or something?

It was a stupid religious thing. He Gets Us is a campaign by Christian people, the annoying type that stand on street corners, not the kind that just do their thing and leave everyone else alone.

dealing with ads

Just use an adblocker. It's basic internet safety at this point. I recommend ublock origin. If you're on mobile, android's version of firefox can use it as well.

I assume they're talking about the reddit app.
