The best reddit control to block ads is too not use Reddit lol. The second best is ublock origin. I’ve been using method two since like 2013 and have zero issues or regrets.
I use rdx for the few subs I like following updates on
And Reddit ReVanced!
Not so new browser controls let you block all advertisers forever
Lemmy let’s me not think about advertisers.

RedReader app works, theres no ads. Im just a passive user of Reddit nowdays, mainly seeing whats up in local city subs as far as news and events. Theres not very much of that on Lemmy yet. If I were to comment in the Lemmy community thats local to my hometown it would probably be like “Hey, are you so an so from the east end?” 😄
our local city subs ahve been taken over by astroturfing goodie two shoes conservatives and tankies.
I’ve blocked all ads on reddit on my own terms, and have actually gone ahead and deleted my 15 year old account too 👍 They can fuck off
They deleted my account for me. Apparently being anti-Nazi is a bad thing there.
I got my previous account permabanned by saying Palestinians have a right to defend themselves by any means necessary. 15 years, over a million karma and several of my huge subs suddenly without a moderator. And now those subs are garbage.
I made r/FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR what it is today. I took it from 150 subs in 2018 to over 1M subs by 2020. I was the one who initially implemented the “Banhammer bot”.
Looking back, all that work I put into building it up meant absolutely nothing to reddit besides getting them more users for their eventual IPO. I put up with a lot of shit, including an attempted coup by r/fatpeoplehate refugees and a stint where one of the posts made it to r/all somehow… That was a fun night. Luckily I was already up with my newborn before shit hit the fan completely haha
when i got my 7 temp ban on worldnews for criticizing israel early in the war i just avoided the sub completely,(and yes i did end up switching to a old throwaway now got perma banned this year.
… so they can learn what ads you’re willing to tolerate.
I am unironically starting to like twitter more than reddit
Abd I fucking hate twitter
So you’re starting to hate reddit more than X. Understandable. I think the social media companies are lost, they had their time.
twitter*
Xitter* (pronounced shitter)
I haven’t seen reddit ads in at least two years
my ublock lets me block all the advertisers for more than a year on reddit
considering what reddit has become, im glad i had adblock as well.
I don’t see any Reddit ads and won’t ever because its dead to me
Does Reddit have ads?
I use NextDNS and the (revanced) official Android app, so I haven’t seen an ad on my phone in years.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ad on Reddit Thank baby jebus for ad blockers.
they do have it, just not excessive like most sites.
I meant I never see ads because I use an ad blocker.
I doubt that’s true. Plenty of posts are ads, without being marked as such. They just do it without paying reddit
Yeah, but old browser extension has let me block all advertisers (and all of them are equally my most-hated) forever, so reddit is cordially invited to get fucked. And they can construe that as ‘encouraging violence’ all they like.
Straight Luigi’d.
Too little, too late. I’m on Lemmy now :)
This would have only had a chance of working prior to adblockers becoming so rampant. They’re over a decade too late and now advertisers are just viewed as “the enemy”
I think lack of goodwill plays into this, too. A lot of smaller sites can get away with stuff like “OK guys, the servers aren’t free, so we need to run ads.” and then have people super thrilled with them if there’s an option to limit or disable ads for donors.
On reddit, I think the attitude would basically be “get fucked, spez!”
