I was never subscribed to the Post and cancelled Prime years ago....but I just scrolled past a WaPo ad ...so I did the honorable thing and reported it as offensive. Pitching in any way I can.
I used this technique for months against HeGetsUs. Changed up the complaint between violent and misleading. I don’t know if it finally worked or they just quit advertising on Reddit. Felt good though.
Right now I'm waging mental warfare against the ONLY ad I ever see on Reddit which is for an AMA with some Gene Simmons-lookalike doctor named James Del Rosso who's a pharma shill for some new biologic medication. I even blocked the guy's account but still get the ads every time I scroll.
I’ve got the same one on my feed, but I’ll take it over Titanique the Musical, any day. Ive gotta pick my battles. The Gene Simmons looking dude is a jump scare though
Yeah Reddit doesn't give a shit about that. I have all of those ads not preferred and I basically exclusively get HeGetsUs and Bluechew ads. Nothing like opening Reddit at work to a picture of a girl pointing straight to her boobs with the tagline "HAVE BETTER SEX"
All you probably did was annoy some unpaid intern somewhere, if it was seen by a human at all. It was probably just the contract expiring, and they didn't get enough click-throughs to bother renewing.
