You can't shove ads to people if you ban them all the time.
I don't know the actual numbers but that would only apply if their base of active users has significantly declined
That was a joke. I don't know where Reddit gets money from, so no idea on what the price of their shares depends on.
I know only that they are morons and degenerates.
There are more than enough bots to prop up those numbers.
Eventually that backfires hard. There are ways to measure the effectiveness of ads and bots don’t buy shit. The number one ad on reddit is “buy some ads, people love seeing and clicking on reddit ads!”
Reddit ads are terrible, no one clicks them, they all use clickbait post titles, and there’s more each day.
There was a smart way to monetize reddit, their choices make it clear what kind of people are making decisions at reddit.
my adblocker prevents those ads so i never see them anyways. reddit doesnt have any aggressive ads compared to other sites.
Ok, so this is kind of pathetic, but my main account was banned over a week ago but I am attached to my subreddits enough that I kept browsing. You can totally navigate your subreddits, you just can't comment. They even let you up/down vote though I doubt it actually gets counted.
Anyway - they can totally still serve you ads from a banned account if you are a fool like me.
same thing, im lurking a couple subs that are niche, but too afraid to comment on other subs which im active in, beause the acct im using already has been flagged.
it correlated right around the time they banned me, like early feb, when they did to everyone else.
