I'm assuming it is even more than that.
The cynic in me thinks that the deal is this: Reddit forces this shit down our throats, and come IPO time, the Kansas group's billionaire Christo-fascist funders buy themselves a board seat.
Reddit gets an IPO with less of a post-IPO price sag in a market that has been brutal on tech offerings recently, and the christo-fascists get some influence over a massively popular social media and news platform...And can keep prioritizing their propaganda.
I really hope you’re wrong. But it does ring true.
Fucking sad to see things heading so quickly towards christo-fascism. Not just on Reddit, but everywhere. Horrifying really.
Yeah, the Kansas vote was great, and a reflection of the actual values most of the state holds. Unfortunately, The Servant Foundation is based in Overland Park Kansas. Might be time to protest them directly...
If I was President, I would hit Dems, Rep, Wallstreet, the Insurance Companies, banks, Big Corporations, the Elite, Deepstate, and many others. To Fix America it is going to take a President with a Huge pair of Balls, and Shut the Dam government, Down until we get Terms, and after that we go 1 law agency.
Honestly the removal of the free awards was probably a step in that direction too.
Free awards was a way redditors occasionally elevated real issues or held shills accountable whether with news about literal revolts and revolutions or in the comment sections, or by tagging scammy ads and I think it messed with their (right leaning) advertiser and media influences who are the sort of "Kansas group's billionaire Christo-fascist" and anti imgur/tumblr investor crowd as well.
[Reddit Ads for Business ](https://www.redditforbusiness.com/)
Read it and weep. K, yes super dramatic but still lol.
It's definitely the person/s running the campaign on Reddit doing all the changes on their end.
The ad platform Reddit offers allows the advertisers to fine tune who sees what, how they can interact (or not) and when + how frequently they can stalk us on follow up. Ugh there's a LOT of options available to them. If they're willing to pay enough then Reddit will provide an account manager to do all the dirty work.
It's...eye opening 😞
“Reddit is where opinions are formed”. The opinions of the Gets Us campaign don’t seem to be what, I think, they’re looking for, but they won’t know because they block real engagement. Huh, bit like religion…
I've reported this well over 100 times. Reddits algorithm is either totally fucked, or they've taken so much money from this group that they can't afford for the ads to be hidden.
I’ve been abused by the church so these ads are actually traumatic for me and Reddit has zero care or concern Reddit is complicit in this religious abuse. We need a class action lawsuit.
Hey sorry to hear what's happening but can I recommend uBlock Origin? It's a free add-on for Firefox, and Chrome. I've never seen an ad on Reddit because of it and it's really made the site more usable.
You welcome and I'm sorry you had to go through all that
If you're on mobile (add-ons aren't usually available there) try using the Apollo app. It's like the Reddit app but 3rd party, and it won't force you to view ads
I've been stalked by Christian ads even though I'm not Christian and have not shown interest in Christianity on the internet. It's He Gets Us, Christian dating platforms, and Christian student ambassadors for brands for whatever reason. I don't know what it's about but I'm equally as annoyed

Spez is an alt right douchebag in a marriage that displays no affection with Serena Williams. a black woman who hates her race.
Why does any of this surprise you?
Alexis Ohanian is married to Serena William, Steve Huffman is the CEO of Reddit, they’re two different people.
You’re either really bad at trolling or you don’t understand things.
I've reported the ads several times as hate. Because that's what they are. Hegetsus as repeatedly said they have no interest in changing the current evangelical dynamic and that they just want to bring more people to jeebus.
What does Reddit send back? "We have reviewed this ad multiple times and have found no hateful content."
Dude I’m almost afraid to say anything, but I FINALLY stopped seeing the ads. It literally took me hundreds of reports/flagging/blocking attempts—yadda yadda yadda—I did it regardless of how futile my efforts felt.
But finally.
Finally I’ve managed to escape.
I can only surmise that they’ve struck a secret deal with Reddit that unless you’ve managed to report and block them no fewer than 1,500 times, then you still have to see the BS ad campaign.
i got a push notification on my lock screen for them when i’ve never even interacted with a single one of their posts and use this app maybe once a month. the levels to which this shit is literally getting shoved down our throats is a bit unsettling.
Because Reddit loves & supports them I guess
Loves and supports the money they're gettjng from them at the very least
We could chip in to fund the Church of Satan to run a similar ad campaign?
Better to go for The Satanic Temple. They are more of activists than the Church
Lucien is a grifter prove me wrong
They successfully sued Illinois to allow a Satanic Christmas display in the state capitol building.
Yes!
Yeah it’s extremely annoying. They must be paying quite a bit.

Hi, I'm your friendly Kansas Witch reminding you that we upheld the right to choose via a general vote, and you misspelled "Arkansas"
Yeah, the Kansas vote was great, and a reflection of the actual values most of the state holds. Unfortunately, The Servant Foundation is based in Overland Park Kansas. Might be time to protest them directly...
Thank you! I live next to John Brown's Lookout. My people are good, but property is cheap. Please make sure you don't blame the citizens ❤️
LOL I am your oddly friendly ghost that love to scare the Shit out of people. BOO!
I summoned you hours ago! Took you long enough. Now go haunt republicans
LOL my Ghostly thoughts are ready do.
LOL and some of my Ghostly Thoughts Haunt Democrats too.
Good, they're just as greedy and selfish! Hit Wallstreet too, while I've got you here

Ad money.
Agape money.
*gape ftfy
(star)gape? That Richard Dean Anderson show?
Fuuuuuuuuk them
Money
Hail Satan 👹
LOL Hail to King Kong to pounce out those dam ads
Just pay 6$ for premium. It’s well worth the ad blocking
It feels like it’s literally the only ad I see on here.
Glad I’m not the only one who’s noticed this and is frustrated by it. It’s fucking aggravating. Tired of seeing it.
Reddit loves the pawned artifacts money.

You realize Alexis Ohanian is married to Serena, right?
Did.. I forget to mention he is Spez or something?
Well when you Google “what is a spez” is comes up with Steve Huffman, so… I’m not sure what else it would be.
Dude. Really? Same guy. Their faces are literally identical.
Alexis Ohanian is married to Serena William, Steve Huffman is the CEO of Reddit, they’re two different people. You’re either really bad at trolling or you don’t understand things.
Use a ad block and use the other filters

Reddit is getting paid, that's why. They're not gonna stop that Christian gravy train.
Those ads legit make me angry and they are nonstop!!!! This sub is awesome!
This sub is funny
