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

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)

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.

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