Porn ads incoming.

Fuck Reddit.

The only really long term viable model is a donation model. Ad tracking is abusive and the legality is waning, and subscription models for what's basically a public good are fucked.

I got this message too. I’m torn between just deleting the accounts and be done with it and leaving them to sit with no activity and no ad impressions.

Woah big shocker, anyway

Thank God. I love seeing that place die

If you wanna keep your bookmarks and the subreddits (communities) that you're subscribed to before deleting your account, I made a free tool to help you store and offload that data.

It's called Reddit Account Manager, and it's 100% free.

You can also use it to manage your Lemmy account(s), of course.

The new pinned sponsor add at the top is so distracting. Used it to figure out a sports stream, awful experience.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Reddit said Wednesday that the platform is revamping its privacy settings with an aim to make ad personalization and account visibility toggles consistent.

Our advertisers instead rely on on-platform activity—what communities you join, leave, upvotes, downvotes, and other signals—to get an idea of what you might be interested in,” Reddit said.

Reddit is seemingly removing toggles for getting post recommendations based on “general location” and activity on partner sites and apps.

The social network said it will also roll out controls to limit certain advertising categories such as alcohol, weight loss, dating, gambling pregnancy, and parenting.

It infamously made changes to its data API terms that led to many third-party clients shutting down and subreddits protesting in retaliation.

In an interview with The Verge in June, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman responded to IPO rumors and said “Getting to breakeven is a priority for us in any climate.”

The original article contains 415 words, the summary contains 147 words. Saved 65%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Is Reddit still alive? I have been away for months 😂

That shit is beyond broken. I‘m glad I left.

I opted out by deleting every trace of my account and never returning. it was easy.

Reddit Revanced says no!

Maybe I'll stop getting those "He Gets Us" ads if I cruise the atheist subreddits.
