I still use it for some of the niche communities I can't get here but I'm more than happy to drop it if these new ads somehow manage to get past uBlock

They probably will. The next evolution in ads is going to be serving them within other organic content, your browser can’t block them if it can’t tell the difference. Now you can just pay Reddit to astroturf for you.

Drop them, they’re literally QVC.

Haha that's such a great point. I love your comment almost as much as plants love Brawndo. It's what plants crave. You can get Brawndo at every major retailer by the way and President Camacho fully endorses Brawndo.

I remember when blog network Federated Media pulled this and it didn't work for them, it was a straight march into an acquisition.
