You’re funny. You think Reddit is the only place these tools get paid. So many of these are from other sites as well. And they dish out money to all of them.
Not exactly sure what you missed or what your point is supposed to be.
The same would be true of any ad platform. I hate Facebook for all the ills it’s caused society and it pisses me off that my breakfast cereal is slightly more expensive because of Zuckerberg’s compensation package too.
But Facebook, et al. aren’t being discussed here. Reddit is.
Even if I stay off the internet completely, a portion of the money I spend STILL goes in their pocket, and the only way to prevent it is to spend hours exhaustively researching every product I buy to find the one or two alternatives out of hundreds of others that don’t feed into the system somehow. And even if product A doesn’t buy ads on these platforms, the place I shop for it probably does. If I can’t buy direct, as is the case with so many purchases, all that time and research are robbed of any real impact by the fact that my closest retail outlet spends millions on targeted Internet ads.
But it’s not really about the money though, it’s about where it’s going.
In an alternate timeline, Spez, Zuck, and the rest are decent human beings with a functioning conscience and use their platforms for the common good. I don’t mind those versions of them getting a piece of my alternate self’s dollar. But I don’t live in that universe.
So, because I’m stuck here, every single one of these modern-day Prometheus wannabe, god-complex, techbro shitheads can kiss my hairy ass.
That doesn’t make them wrong, it just proves the companies are even worse than was originally implied cause they do this same scumfuckery all over the place. Congratulations, you played yourself.
I’m pretty sure my point was that they were worse then this dude said. I didn’t play myself, I just proved how many dumb fucks are in this site that don’t know how to fucking read you fucking tool.

Nothing OP said indicated he thought Reddit was the only place that did that.

Bro chill. You don’t even really seem to be disagreeing. Have some water and lie down for a minute and come back after you’ve cooled off.
