Reddit introduces a new ad format that looks similar to posts made by users | TechCrunch
Reddit is introducing a new ad format that looks similar to posts made by users on the platform, the company announced on Thursday.
You're viewing a single thread.
The worst thing is when you open the sidebar. If you click too fast on a sidebar item it registers as a click on the first ad in your feed.
I report the ad as offensive every time this happens which is almost every time.
Why stay there? Make the shift permanent!
I used nails in the past and I never went around telling people how I keep hitting my thumb with the hammer 😭. 😂. I just learned to not put my thumb there and problem solved! So just take your thumb and bring it here! No ads here! I can't believe they finally did put ads there.
I am mostly on Lemmy now. There are still one or two niche communities still only on Reddit that I frequent.
Thankfully this list keeps shrinking as time goes on 🙂
I still Google stuff like "can I use bananas in kombucha reddit" unfortunately reddit is where the actual Internet population had a voice. No more. Lemmy works differently but I'm going to start using it as a search term and hopefully soon we'll be getting good results there too...or here I should say.
I haven’t been there in a long time but i remember ads being all over the damn place and they had a certain feel where i knew it wasn’t a regular post and if you looked closely it said promoted. So is this the same thing or are they straight up not even including the promoted tag anymore ?
