I guess, but that's true for a number of news websites, so it's a pretty low bar. One of the things that made Reddit unique was the selection of mobile apps. I even paid to remove ads on one of them. If they offered an API token at something like 5x what they'd make off me from ads (so I'd pay something like $5-10/year), I'd gladly pay it.

But no, they jacked up prices so much that the apps I used had to shut down. And the mobile web experience sucks, so I just bailed.

If they want me back, I need a decent mobile app and an affordable way to eliminate ads at a minimum. They don't provide that, so I stay here.
