For well over a year, Reddit (especially women's & non-Christian & LGBTQ subreddits) were overrun with HeGetsUs adverts. Massive amounts of $, social & political capital spent to deploy proselytisation as propaganda

Miles Grant (@milesgrant.bsky.social):

Suddenly all my Meta ads are creepy far right garbage


Asperas Bompar (@asperasbompar.bsky.social):

Reddit did finally wise up and let people opt out of religious ads (the same way they do for alcohol).

As for Meta, I suspect most religious ads are geofenced. I get different ones depending on which side of Brooklyn I'm on. And they're really bad about respecting opt outs.


Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Let me guess: North side, religious adverts; south side, none?


Asperas Bompar (@asperasbompar.bsky.social):

More like North/Central Brooklyn, Orthodox Jewish groups asking me to pay for their settlements; Southern/Eastern Brooklyn, Eastern Orthodox and Catholic hucksters selling miraculous knick knacks.
