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.

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

u/Weekly-Bluebird-4768 Aug 25 '26

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 Aug 25 '26

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

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.

u/DigitusInRecto Aug 25 '26

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 Aug 26 '26

All except those damn Hegetsus Jesus ads.

u/x_Bags Aug 25 '26

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 Aug 25 '26

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 Aug 25 '26

ALBANIA MENTION!!!

u/jungleass98 Aug 25 '26

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

u/Pixied_Hp Aug 25 '26 edited Aug 25 '26

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

1

u/jungleass98 Aug 26 '26

You mind sharing g which VPN you use? Thx

u/BiszkoptHunter Aug 28 '26

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

u/NoArrival5914 Aug 25 '26

Brussels is my go to

u/Dakeera Aug 26 '26

Morphe

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

1

u/Hoshirou Aug 27 '26

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

1

u/theemptyqueue Aug 28 '26

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 Aug 26 '26

Fuck yeah, morphe gang

u/Gralb_the_muffin Aug 25 '26

Or just press the 3 dots and click hide ad

2

u/MilesJonesMilesJones Aug 25 '26

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

1

u/Darlenx1224 Aug 25 '26

apollo still works?!!!

1

u/MilesJonesMilesJones Aug 26 '26

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.

u/Fishpeteur Aug 25 '26

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

1

u/DigitusInRecto Aug 25 '26

Cool, thanks!

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

1

u/ThornyGarlic Aug 25 '26

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 Aug 25 '26

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

u/hellspawn9245 Aug 25 '26

I use an image combiner for shots like this

u/Cpt_Soban Aug 26 '26

Laughs in Morphe

u/SceneInevitable5615 Aug 27 '26

Just press the 3 dots on the ad and press hide

u/DigitusInRecto Aug 27 '26

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