I don't recall ever seeing ads on reddit, and I know exactly why. On Mobile, RiF barely had ads, and desktop was all adblocked.

Though they were often the topic of crank posts, specifically the Christian ones around the atheism sub.

That's because you used a third party app. Reddit got rid of those a year ago.

And as soon as RiF announced it wasn't going to be able to continue, I moved here.

InfonityForReddit is still going strong and doesn't have ads. You have option to help dev pay their fee or compile your own apk with your own key and use it for free. It doesn't change fact that both service and community is mostly cancer..

And that using your own key with an app is actually prohibited by TOS. They can keep their bot generated content.

You saw ads on reddit, but they were disguised as posts and comments from "real" users.

I see, a man of culture. Rest in Peace RIF!

I only ever got one ad in RIF, repeated in every spot. I think it was an app for organizing decks in TGCs, but as I don't play any TGCs, I never bothered to investigate. As with every other ad on the internet, I only interacted with it by accident.
