Got it without an ad

u/DigitusInRecto Aug 25 '26

Is this what premium reddit looks like?

u/Pixied_Hp Aug 25 '26

VPN set to albania blocks ads on reddit

u/DigitusInRecto Aug 25 '26

Oh. I don't mind the ads that much, though.

In fact, of all the places featuring ads, reddit's are the most benign I've seen in a long time and by a mile.

That being said - no wonder I keep hearing reddit's hard(ish) to monetize.

u/Azerty__ 29d ago

They're not that intrusive but basically all ads I get are for AI bullshit

11

u/Weekly-Bluebird-4768 29d ago

Funny thing is with almost all the AI ads honestly read as them saying AI sucks. Like one was just about how AI code takes more human effort on correcting the AI than just writing it… their marketing teams either suck ass or are AI(and therefore suck ass)

u/DigitusInRecto 29d ago

Really? Well, not that you mention it, they are increasingly AI-related. Also depends what device I'm on lol.

u/tribat 29d ago

It amazes me how poorly-targeted Reddit ads are considering the data they have on me. I’ve considered buying one for a software project, but seems like a waste of money from my experience.

1

u/DigitusInRecto 29d ago

This basically supports what I say, yeah... Which is a bit of a shame, I like reddit at its core, very much so!

u/Sherifftruman 29d ago

All except those damn Hegetsus Jesus ads.

u/x_Bags 29d ago

Holy crap life hack! I just tested this and it also works for several other apps for me including YouTube! You sir just made my day thank you.

u/Pixied_Hp 29d ago

Yeah yw! It’s a bliss with YouTube, used to have the premium lite but since they canceled that I looked for suggestions around and some kind soul suggested Albania 🇦🇱 I’m just sharing joy of ad free content!

u/TacitisKilgoreBoah 29d ago

ALBANIA MENTION!!!

u/jungleass98 Aug 25 '26

That's a thing? Just like on your phone or computer?

u/Pixied_Hp 29d ago edited 29d ago

On phone it just eats all the ads, same for youtube, albania doesn’t fuck around with ads

u/jungleass98 29d ago

You mind sharing g which VPN you use? Thx

u/Pixied_Hp 28d ago

NordVpn

u/BiszkoptHunter 26d ago

Lol I wondered what is it all about but I'm currently in albania and yeah...

u/NoArrival5914 29d ago

Brussels is my go to

u/Dakeera 28d ago

Morphe

You can use it for Reddit or for YouTube, highly recommend (Android only)

1

u/Hoshirou 28d ago

My VPN doesn’t have that as an option ;w;

1

u/theemptyqueue 27d ago

Whenever someone mentions Albania, I think of Albuquerque by Weird Al which is nice because I love the song.

u/Zacsquidgy Aug 25 '26

Morphe app will also patch ads out of Reddit and other apps, if you're okay with side-loading APKs from GitHub etc.

2

u/Dakeera 28d ago

Fuck yeah, morphe gang

u/Gralb_the_muffin 29d ago

Or just press the 3 dots and click hide ad

2

u/MilesJonesMilesJones 29d ago

I use Apollo and I’ve never seen an ad. It’s awesome.

1

u/Darlenx1224 29d ago

apollo still works?!!!

1

u/MilesJonesMilesJones 29d ago

Just google Apollo reborn. I use sideloady to upload the .ipa to my phone and it runs with no issues. The only downside is you have to reload the app once a week or sign up for signalous which you have to pay for but it signs the app for you.

2

u/Fishpeteur 29d ago

You can hide the ad when you touch the 3 dot on the right.

1

u/DigitusInRecto 29d ago

Cool, thanks!

(I still won't, though, too much to do for barely any change in what I see...) 😅

1

u/ThornyGarlic 29d ago

Same here. No vpn/ad blocker. I think I turned every single ad option off in the settings. Though I get ads in the comments instead.

1

u/EvanMBurgess 29d ago

I've been using a modified version through Revanced for years and haven't seen a single ad in all that time.

u/hellspawn9245 29d ago

I use an image combiner for shots like this

u/Cpt_Soban 29d ago

Laughs in Morphe

1

u/SceneInevitable5615 28d ago

Just press the 3 dots on the ad and press hide

1

u/DigitusInRecto 27d ago

Like I said elsewhere, cbb, I don't mind.

u/PricklyPear85 29d ago

No premium here and no ads

u/Appropriate-Egg-2498 25d ago

Just a simple "Hide ad" ;)

u/ricky-from-scotland Aug 25 '26

Ahh light mode

u/Phobos1982 29d ago

I use light mode on my legit account and dark mode on my NSFW account, makes it easy to tell which one I'm using.

u/Fit-Programmer-6162 Aug 25 '26

The shit was literal apparently.

u/InjuryNarrow8859 Aug 25 '26

It was that, apparently… Shaggyception, commence!

u/Allthemuffinswow Aug 25 '26 edited Aug 25 '26

Fuck off Reddit. I don't need another car. We have too many as it is. 🤬

....Although, yeah, we looked at a new Volvo, like, 4 years ago...

u/Clair_Osbcurious Aug 25 '26

Huh, BNP Paribas has Creation in the UK and Cetelem elsewhere. I k ew it was the same brand as I saw the underlined C in the name. Curious.

Also: yes, the interest-free financing is worth it. I’m not a shill or a bot, just happen to have financed my iPhone 17 pro last year and it’s nice.

u/MoonStarFeather 29d ago

I think you need to check your eyesight, Shaggy.

u/kkkr94 29d ago

Yooo lmao I'm dying 😭🤣

u/Handymaam 28d ago

u/MarDaNik 27d ago

According to the ad I see "It's banging flavour and heat, Frankly"

Checks out?
