Calling them “free-form ads,” Reddit said the new advertisements are its most native format ever, designed to look and feel like community content shared by real people.
The ads, meant to mimic the site’s megathreads, will enable advertisers to utilize a variety of formats in one post, including images, videos, and text.
According to numbers from Reddit, free-form ads got 28% more clicks than all other types of ads on the site and saw a jump in community engagement.
The next time you see an interesting post in your Reddit feed, take a closer look - because it might just be a paid advertisement.
Recently went on Reddit and laughed hysterically at the amount of religious propaganda I saw in this format. Example:
The best thing about those ads is that they’re mostly “AI” generated. You know none of the people making those ads would actually wash the feet of a queer person.
He Gets Us’ Ad Sponsors Don’t Believe in the Jesus They’re Sellin
Ok if your ad uses TL;DR or any other internet speak, you deserve to go bankrupt. I’m so fucking sick of corporations trying to cash in on meme culture and trends and ruining it every single time.
Recuperation has been around for a lot longer than the Internet.
-religious propaganda -gambling bullshit (including crypto/crypto adjacent bullshit) -military brainwashing/propaganda -alcohol ads
Just the worst fucking garbage bullshit.

r/Atheism held the line for decades, and y’all cyberbullied them for it.
IMHO, it was an elevator ride that killed r/atheism…
I always thought it was the “faces of atheism” thread.

That was a killing blow + “the professional quote maker.”
But it was a good place for some decent discussion back in the day. I learned enough biology from arguing with creationists there + youtube to test out of college biology….
OOTL. Can you explain further?
Rebecca Watson had some guy proposition in her in an elevator at a conference, felt uncomfortable and talked about it during the conference. This blew up the internet atheist/skeptic community around 2011 or so, led to a big split. “Elevatorgate”
/r/atheism often got cyberbullied for being a bunch of insufferable jerks.
I don’t believe in god but you would never find me any closer to hanging out in /r/atheism than any other actually religious subreddit.
