      Reddit’s newest users use it like Tiktok, thus pushing short videos to the front page all the time. It will become a Tiktok clone within the next six months. Mark my words.

      Yeah I try to not think about how it’s now normal to see ads everywhere. What kind of normal is that… It’s sick.

      OP has a view setting that magnifies ads. In my view setting (as close to third party apps as it gets), the ads take up much less space and there is no trending section. OP is choosing a bad layout to exaggerate their point.

        Curious since I never used the official app but are these things opt in or opt out?

          I’m not entirely sure but I only changed settings when things bothered me and I never saw this sort of ad. I’m not sure if I even browsed popular before I changed some settings so I’m not an objective judge. My point is, users are not trapped with this sort of ad environment. You use classic view instead of card view and the ads get a little differently annoying. Not huge screen space gobblers but sneaky post-lookalike pests.
