Jannies kind of mad that they can't block the Christian /u/HeGetsUs ad account

/r/Atheism janny

this particular advertiser violates the subreddit rules for a sub I'm a moderator of.

Nooo it's against the rules :soycry: You can't have christ on my atheist sub :ragejak:

I made the post 9 days ago edit: a different post on modsupport 17 days ago about the same issue . I got the same response as you to my modmail - escalating to another team. Since then my subreddit has had dozens of posts and hundreds maybe thousands? of additional comments from users complaining about these ads.

LSD and mescaline janny

This pisses me off so much. I’m sick of seeing that religious ad, as well as baby/parenting/pregnancy ads as a childfree person. ... This is making me want to avoid Reddit, despite being a longtime user and mod.

How can one advertiser be so :marseybased:

I’ve also blocked the account and have had multiple users complain to me. I run r/weddingdress, tons of the users aren’t Christian and I certainly am not. I report these ads as hate speech when I still see them

:marseylaughpoundfist: Stop it! I don’t want to see your ads. It's literally hatespeech :soycry:

Now I'm wondering - if a user is banned from a subreddit, can they still purchase ads for that subreddit? Because if admins are pulling a "twitter checkmark" thing here where you can say whatever you want so long as you fork over a few bucks, that would be a huge opportunity for trolling.

:marseyhesright: Are there any schizo millionaires among us?

Yea you can do more than that, set up a fake ad campaign on a free ad tracker like BeMob and make it seem legit and link it to something credible just for reddit's compliance team to approve the ad and after that switch out the link to rdrama or something lol

Prolly run a CPM campaign on reddit so it doesn't get too expensive

The old interface also deterred normies somewhat as the ui learning curve was slightly steeper than usual

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

I dunno, I feel like the new interface is more complicated.

The old interface was like "here, here's all the things in a list, now learn to code to make it fancy. Here's the sub with guides and walk-through to show you how".

The new interface is like "here, you want this? well click this, and this, and then this, and then this again to type some things. And now click 4 more things to get back to the first list, and then do it all over again for the next thing. Also, it won't be as unique as Old, but whatever, deal with it". It's way more involved for each step with less payout.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

The big issue with the old interface was that every sub could (and all the big ones did) customize the layout so all the UI cues changed as you navigated around the site.

Which was great when it was a collection of individual communities with a single login, but not good for a corp trying to increase engagement.

They basically sanitized and streamlined the whole thing, and it sucks now.

That's such a trope in web design.

The stuff that make us most money? Front page, takes up 60% of the interface.

Oh you want to do something else? It's 5 clicks away, hidden in some context menu that makes no sense.

I wonder if their ad system has any sort of white list/black list system.

In 2013 when /u/AALewis wrote the "In this moment, I am euphoric" copypasta, this phrase was immortalized as a meme, and the entire fricking internet dunked on him and the insufferable reddit/internet nu-atheists that had become more obnoxious than Evangelicals, and the "Euphoric Neckbeard" archetype is til this day 10 years later still associated with reddit and its users, but now in 2023, simply the presence of a generic religious ad is enough to make redditors sperg the frick out and claim that it is hate speech?

Just..... what the actual frick has been going on with redditors? how do these people live like outside of reddit? if this "multiple redditors have a mental breakdown over a simple Christian ad on the site" incident happened in 2013, this would have been mercilessly mocked, and perhaps even have gone to the annals of internet history like the euphoric atheist copypasta, and til this day would have countless YouTube videos, forum threads, and wiki articles detailing and archiving the spergout in Internet Historian-esque detail, but now, redditor behavior like this is seen as a common occurrence?

No email address required.

aalewis was unironically the tipping point for online atheism. I don't mean the guy that just doesn't believe in God, I mean that guy, the one who would scoff at religous people for being stupid dimwits.

I was a Christian at that point. The resulting culture shift that I saw happening over the next few years was the most glorious thing I have ever seen on the internet. You have to understand how Christians felt about the internet at that point in time - in my experience prior to that point, I thought of the internet as being entirely against who I was. (Probably the biggest reason I hate reddit still)

Who would have guessed that we'd have right-wingers openly LARPing as Christians on a nihlistic cat webforum by 2023? Alas, the days of the internet being hostile to Christians was probably better for them. Now Christchuds spend their days online instead of outside touching grass, getting married, and having large families of annoying children.
