Sounds like a great way for Reddit to force anyone trying to train an AI to pay for an ad-free dataset: buy the clean one, or scrape an ad ridden one. You wouldn’t want risking your corporate AI to spew propaganda about your competitors, would you?
I don’t know what to do to get good search results anymore if this happens. Using site:reddit.com has been the only way recently to find opinions from actual people regarding some product I’m considering. Maybe I’ll just stop buying things and go live in a cave. Can’t trust any information online anymore.

Enshittification intensifies.
Better yet, ads coming soon to web searches filtered with site:reddit.com …
And they can still report that as ad delivery when that post is requested, even when the tag is no longer paid for
That user name is a true commitment to seasoning!
