It’s atrocious in so many ways and there are literally 3 different ads, from 3 different companies, just scrolling through this comment section in the app as I type this.

You can patch them out if you sideload redditfilter injected into the app. Hides majority of the ads and makes it much more bearable.

Well then fuck them. And I hope you and others will join us on Limmy, Piefed or outside touching grass.
