Dear User,
We will soon begin rolling out changes to Reddit’s User settings. It is getting a refresh that includes changes to ad personalization, privacy preferences, and location settings.
As part of these changes, we are retiring a setting that you have previously turned on that limited how we used your activity from the Reddit platform to personalize ads. We have replaced the setting with a new option to select categories of ads that you may not wish to see.
More details are available in our announcement and help center.
These changes are rolling out starting today and you may see the changes over the next few days.
Users will be tracked with no opt out. Posts may be monetized, which will make content even worse No refund or any type of usable credit for users that spent hundreds on Reddit coins The entire vibe has done a 180° since all these new “positive changes” are rolled out.
Idk man, literally asked a bunch (3) of friends how reddit is lately who had no idea what was going on this summer with the API changes and didn’t care when I told them. Here are there responses:
“They’ve gotten really bad at putting relevant shit in front of me”
“Been a ton more ads lately”
And
“dude thank you for telling me reddit had porn lol”
There’s what now?!
I always wondered if there were people oblivious to porn on reddit. It always seemed like common knowledge those days.
It’s not the usual manufactured porn by companies, it’s usually people showcasing a video of themselves.
A lot of people’s approach to social media is
login an absolute total of times equal to one, on an app, and never again, that session better last
do zero content curation, what comes is what you eat
mostly scroll past shit, don’t interact, don’t produce
maybe click on a navigation link once or twice per month
So of course they don’t know there’s porn. They’re basically only seeing their feed (which is a clone of /r/popular, so a bunch of clones of /r/funny and ragebait) and the default subs, which doesn’t have porn by default ever since reddit removed its ability to show up on default feeds.
I meant more around “reddit is known for having porn channels” and less “reddit pushes porn in your default feeds”.
You’re right though, the casual dead-minded scroller wouldn’t know about it.
It used to be moreso, but before i left reddit it turned into people spamming promoting their onlyfans accounts, some subs felt like scrolling through a gallery of ads.
The amount of porn on reddit is astonishing.
Just go to r/randnsfw a few times.
Aww man it’s banned…
Nah it works fine.
You might have to use old reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/randnsfw (WARNING the link might be extremely NSFW)
It should redirect you to a random nsfw sub, just like /r/random
Redirected me to r/welding, wtf
hot sexy welders in your area
