So I gave the official Reddit app a try again after all this time on Apollo just to confirm that it was still garbage (it is) and what pissed me off the most was all the “promoted” ads.
Facebook, instagram, twitter, Reddit- just filthy with ads meant to hide in your feeds and look like real content that you are interested in - but it’s completely duplicitous. Like the sponsored links in google masquerading as real sites, it’s just trying to trick you and gain your attention, and by doing so gain your money. It’s sick.
I don’t mind regular ads even - pitch me your product, sure. Just don’t try to sneak it into my life.
So my favourite thing about fediverse so far?
Haven’t seen a single ad. )
