Reddit refuses to stop malicious ads

Reddit refuses to stop malicious ads

I made on post on r/RedditforBusiness that brought up the problem of malicious adverts to make Reddit aware of it. A Reddit customer support agent responded telling us to report such ads. My best guess is that dozens if not hundreds of people have reported such ads so far, and 3 months later, it's still a problem. In fact most adverts I see on Reddit are these scams:

As we can now see, reporting them clearly does not solve the issue, it doesn't purge to root cause. (No hard feelings towards the support agent, they are just forwarding information given to them). The scammers embrace their articles being short-lived, meaning they create literally thousands of different ones, using hundreds of different Reddit accounts to advertise them. Doesn't even help exposing one crypto scam's name, as almost every article is about a different one.

Reddit has to be able to detect these CLEARLY fake articles. Reddit seems to have a TERRIBLE system for approving adverts. It makes me think either that 1) there is no system in place to filter out malicious adverts, 2) people/AI checking for malicious adverts are incompetent, or 3) Reddit is intentionally slacking on this to make more money. What's going on, seriously?

People aren't happy with their adverts on Reddit, thousands spent with no results. I don't think it's too far fetched Reddit is slacking on this to make more money, perhaps there's a lack of better ads?

These scams are not only a problem because people might lose money, but I believe these adverts are tied to a large scam operation controlled by some larger entity. The call centres might be connected to modern day slavery. When someone inputs their details into these the scam sites, they'll often get a call from someone that tries to get them to invest or something else:

This just serves as a reminder that adblockers are as important as antivirus software, especially for non-tech-savvy people. Platforms might tell you they lose revenue from them, but they don't deserve it if they aren't looking out for your or other's safety in the process.

I made this post initially to r/RedditforBusiness, as I already did with the previous one, but this one got removed by them for not being constructive feedback. Hopefully this community can appreciate it.

The things I talk about on this post are something you are all familiar with here, but non-tech-savvy people clearly aren't as these scammers keep advertising here. You can visit my earlier post to r/RedditforBusiness (linked at the start of this post) to see how large scale this scam operation is, so it's a huge problem Reddit is willingly ignoring.

Any sign of a Twitch adblock buffering fix?

I've noticed that the adblock issue on Twitch showed up with the current filter where instead it's buffering lately. I saw a post for it a couple months ago and it looks like, at least the code base for that original adblock script, hasn't been fixed. Has anyone seen anything recently that might work? I don't like this annoying infinitely buffering thing.

Does anyone know how to block ads for apps on Android?

One of my favorite games on my phone is Words with friends but it has a ton of insanely annoying ads after every play! I'd buy it but their game is a stupid monthly subscription scheme to get rid of ads. I'm not paying $10 a month just to get rid of ads. I'm hoping there's another solution. I appreciate any suggestions you might have.

hope this helps

As a macbook user I use friendly streaming, and it helps with taking away ads on youtube just fine in my opinion.

Youtube blocks Sblock

I used the Sblock expansion for over a year since the last time Youtube blocked adblocks. Now it has been disable in the manner that if you turn Sblock on, the video won't load, citing internet error.

When I disable Sblock, it works fine (of course with ads now). I just downloaded "Adblock for Youtube" extension and it works fine (Minus a 1 second displaying the network error but after that it loads fine).
