Reddit is removing ability to opt out of ad personalization

I have used reddit for over a decade but I stopped recently. It&#x27;s turned into a bunch of political echo chambers. I have been banned from subs just for commenting in a different sub. I have been banned for saying slightly controversial things that subs don&#x27;t agree with. Not to mention literally every single time I&#x27;ve ever tried to post to large subs like shower thoughts or whatever, I get blocked by a bot. Some times I&#x27;ve seen nearly identical posts submitted after I tried to submit mine, I have wondered if they just block everything and repost for karma farming or something.<p>Anyway, reddit has become a toxic shithole. Better to stay away.

And ublock origin always comes up as our only solution all the time. I really wish that one day it will be available on iOS (Still not working on Orion).

It&#x27;s tyranny of the docile. The recent batch of user hostile practices adopted by Reddit and Twitter will become industry norms because they worked, too few people actually left those services. Network effects work more against us now than for us.

Is it even okay with the external ad providers or GDPR?
