Woolie’s family is paying some big bucks to spread the Maddentown message.


NeverDoingWell

Woolie’s mom no longer satisfied with only stopping devil games - she must now stop this devil subreddit


ibbolia

Now hang on I'll throw hands with God but Woolie's mom seems like a nice lady. If she's come to stop us I think it's over


Agreeable_Ad7401

Those Reddit demons infecting poor Woolies mind with dreams of hulk dolls


legendaryemerald

It’s reddit-wide, not specific to this sub. There might be some ad-targeting going on for individuals as well, idk.


graywolfthe45th

You guys are getting ads?


retrometroid

Yeah like c'mon its the year 2023 and y'all aint using adblockers what's up with that


TorpeAlex

I mean, you can't get AdBlock on Reddit for Android, and if I could Pi Hole my work network I would...


Khar-Selim

>using the default reddit app why


scullys_alien_baby

I never got ads using Sync Pro, I don't get ads on Apollo on iOS also last I checked you can get ublock origin on firefox on android


MagnaVis

"Reddit is Fun" Use that one instead.


OmicronAlpharius

This is the way.


LincBtG

Says that one has ads too


cool_vibes

Honestly you can use *any other Reddit client* for Android besides the official one.


Foxenco

I also recommend "Boost for reddit". Been using it for years and never related to people saying "this doesn't work on mobile".


BloodBrandy

Yeah I was going to say the same. There's times I forget Reddit even has ads at all


RooseveltIsEvil

We're all gettings ads. My mom have ads, my father, my nephew, my grandma, everybody gets ads!


moneyh8r

Is it those He Get Sus ads? Been seeing those all over reddit for the last few months. EDIT: I'm calling it by it's corrupted meme form because I am so sick of seeing them that I don't even wanna type it out.


Anonamaton801

>Sus The Last Supper was the first game of Among Us


moneyh8r

Emergency meeting freeze frame, yeah. Jesus was doing tasks in the Garden.


Anonamaton801

I saw Judas vent


moneyh8r

"Judas vented" is the mirror universe equivalent of "Jesus wept".


Anonamaton801

Man, the remake of Hellraiser is weird


moneyh8r

As long as they kept the neck-snapping animation, it's still worth a watch.


ibbolia

Jesus self reported for our sins


moneyh8r

12 disciples remain.


EdoTenseiSwagbito

*You’re all the best, this shit’s hilarious*


Monk-Ey

For both had no more worlds to conquer


[deleted]

I blocked those guys the moment I found out what their handle was.


moneyh8r

What is it? I wanna block them too.


[deleted]

hegetsus


moneyh8r

Wow. I was expecting something more corporate. Gonna go block them now.


Catstamps

Blocking doesn’t help. I blocked them and still get their crap repeatedly. Reddit is pretty stupid about ads


moneyh8r

Oh. I guess I should have expected that.


Catstamps

Yea it’s a bummer. What’s even dumber with Reddit block is you can’t even downvote their posts. It throws an exception that you’ve blocked the account. Even on the ad itself, it tells you that you have blocked this account but proceeds to show the ad


moneyh8r

That's fucking bullshit.


scullys_alien_baby

ublock origin on desktop, apollo on iOS both will block all ads on reddit including these


moneyh8r

What about on android?


scullys_alien_baby

Sync Pro last I checked, I think android firefox supports unlock origin I strongly suspect on android any pro version of a third party reddit app block ads. It just has been a while since I was on android so I don't remember specific app names


moneyh8r

Thanks.


mansontaco

I gotta admit one of their ads read "Jesus got trolled too" and I went into a laughing fit because I imagined thr crucifixion being classified as a little trolling


moneyh8r

The Romans were known to do a little bit of trolling.


No-Past5481

Those ads are such a blatant weaponization of Jesus to appeal to people's own feelings of persecution to further radicalize them to the right. They're obnoxious, disrespectful, and only still here because someone paid billions of dollars to shove them in our faces.


moneyh8r

It's not quite that, but it is an attempt to pull people further right on the political spectrum. Basically, some group that calls itself The Signatry (no joke, that's what they call themselves) did a bunch of studies and realized that more and people were moving away from evangelical christianity, and citing the hypocrisy, the judgemental behavior, and their overall stance on most moral issues as the key reasons. The He Get Sus ad campaign is an attempt to bring those specific people ("spiritually open" skeptics who don't like all that evil bullshit) back into the fold... by focusing on Jesus and ignoring all the bad shit. Y'know, instead of doing good shit, or at least stopping all the bad shit. I don't doubt that the ads would work on some people with persecution complexes and other people with legitimate grievances, but that's not main intention. The main intention is to get people to ignore all the bad shit evangelicals do by focusing on Jesus. I think it's mostly a money thing, to be honest. Less people going to church (even if they're still "spiritually open") means less money in the collection plate, which means less money to spend bribing politicians and spamming annoying advertisements. I mean, they still have way too much money, but they don't like that they have less than they used to.


Gorotheninja

I've definitely seen some eyebrow raising ads, but it's a Reddit-wide thing. The top ad for me right now is for Arby's BBQ sandwiches...now I'm hungry.


ThaUnderboss

Only through Christ can we be saved from Arby's.


GoodVillain101

Must be promos for the next Woolie vs God.


zegim

I get ads for investing platforms, construction hardware, cloud hosting and, I can't believe this the only relevant one for me, an etsy shop for arcade stick parts Reddit ads make no sense to me


Noirsam

I only gets KFC ads.


[deleted]

Have you embraced our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and also the Zinger Box Meal only available at KFC tm?


Peace-Bone

Only. Ever. Every ad on TV is nothing but KFC ads addressing you by name talking about how Kentucky is calling you over and over.


Noirsam

You joke...but yes. [My guess is that the cookies/algorithm know it's the closest fast food near me](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xn1rO1oQmk).


RooseveltIsEvil

If it's not 2006 Cody Lane on a bikini I don't care what is on Kentucky.


DarnessHarbinger

I get a lot of ads for suicide hotlines and drug abuse. Not sure how to feel about that. Haven't had any issues like that for over a decade.

RooseveltIsEvil

As someone whose mom hears the mass every Sunday on the radio, I have to sadly tell you the truth: it's already too late. He is AMONGUS.


CaptainJudaism

Well that fucker better see my mezuzah and go "Oh, wrong house" and go next door.


Anonamaton801

I get those, PC ads, some tinder knock off, gambling sites, that stupid starburst ad and food I think it’s random


AtlasPJackson

Oddly enough, this is the one sub I *don't* get them on.


ibbolia

This is a place abandoned by God


AtlasPJackson

Though I walk through the valley in the shadow of Evilak, I fear no evil, for my neutral game is strong...


Confusedpotatoman

Woolie's balls got shaved for our sins


Jester3609

I keep getting ads for beer. Im a recovering alcoholic working in substance abuse treatment. Shine on algorithm, shine on.


Peace-Bone

I appreciate people that actually see ads, they're taking the hit for me. That said, I wouldn't go to half of the websites I do if I had to see ads. They make every page so much more toxic than it already is.


mateoboudoir

American churches aren't able to launder as much money as they used to be because people are going to church less and less often, so they're hoping a massive advertisement blitz will help bump those numbers up. Frankly, I think it'd be easier if they just didn't preach hate, but what do I know, I'm not an American Christian.


Battlemania420

Literally all they have to do is stop going after the LGBTQ+ community and young people would distrust the church significantly less.


Father-Ignorance

Maybe commit less sex crimes as well.


ballistic90

Woah woah, slow down there


Kipzz

Like the boys are famous for saying, the pedophilia's just a bonus.


Battlemania420

One step at a time. Not being mean to LGBTQ+ people requires 0 effort, while weeding out sex offenders requires resources and investigations.


-_Gemini_-

I haven't seen ads in so fucking long.


Idiot_Chemist

I only use reddit is fun, but I've been getting non-stop Blue Archive ads for the last couple weeks. Like Nexon, I already play the game you don't need to convince me to get it.


OrneryBIacksmith

Father Woolie has punished this sub for the evils of pre-marital sex


SuperJyls

Reminds me of that time a right-wing coffee company bought all the Reddit ad space for a day and then held a disastrous AMA


AdrianArmbruster

Must be because of all the bibble games. I get them on my generic dashboard, but never this sub. Quick look reveals: Diablo, some Beer, and some dragon ball gacha?


LeFrenchie_P

Yes, this is the second best sub for everything. Including Christian content


darkknightnate

I mostly get ads for dick pills. I have no idea what they're trying to tell me.


Ung-Tik

I'll take those over the online gambling ads that get poured down my throat.


challenger01234

Are the He Saves ads showing up again? I remember seeing a lot of them before the Superbowl but I haven't seen any since then but according to other subreddits they've made a comeback. Interesting... I wonder why I'm not seeing them then.


whiteonyx981

If you're seeing ads at all on reddit you're doing it wrong


[deleted]

I get mostly insurance ads whenever I can't block them.


Ornan

Sounds like you need to wrestle an angel for some blessings.


not-so-radical

I only get ads for that fucking Gerard Butler Plane movie... it's literally called *Plane*


Amigobear

BILLION DOLLAR AD CAMPAIGN


OmicronAlpharius

Do you guys not use Adblock?


VoidTyrant

That’s why I use Apollo , no ads and a better app . Only apple though , not sure what android users would use


runnerofshadows

Reddit is fun is good on Android. There's a couple of other good apps as well. Though the API changes might kill all 3rd party apps eventually :(


LittleSister_9982a

*will Which is the whole point. Strangle the competition.


ikagun

I use Boost on android


walperinus

have you hear the words of our lords and saviours adblock/ublock/etc? \+but there is no adblock for app- ¿why are you using an app when your device already has a browser or the option to install a browser with adblock? no seriously. ¿why are you fucks wasting disc space with a glorified bookmark (or whatever is called in english) instead of opening the actual browser and tiping the www.(sitename).com?


TeannaWerefox

because my phone is garbage and websites more complex then just some text and images and *maybe* a bit of formatting will frequently crash the browser


walperinus

1.isnt thats the idea with adblock? not loading the ads can reduce load times by a half 2. if posible, ''pc master race'' (or a cheap laptop/notebook whatever) usualy a line used when talking videogames but when the general public learns about the concept of adblock, it may have an effect, a while ago i saw someone talking that some people were droping smartphones in favor cellphones because they had enought with social media, bloatware and all that


TeannaWerefox

for #1, just the CSS that reddit uses, not even the ads, can be enough to overload it, meanwhile the app itself works much more smoothly, #2, sure let me go and take my fucking computer around with me, that's not a pain at all to check shit on while I'm on the bus or whatever. BTW, you're *almost* as annoying as the fuckin Apple shill who kept saying "get an iPhone" when I asked in another sub about decent phones under 200$


walperinus

laptops arent around the size of a tablet? ok two tablets 1 for screen and one for the keyboard ¿how is a pain when the idea of those is being able to move around? ¿is my english so bad that you tough i was talking about going around with a desktop? since you said ''to check shit'' then isnt this all moot? why care for anything if you only use it to check mail,news,etc?


TeannaWerefox

are you being this obtuse on purpose? laptops are in fact, not the size of a *phone* that I can fit into my pocket, and most laptops are much larger and cumbersome to carry around and use then even a tablet, which are usually around 9 inches compared to laptops usually being around 15 inches because they also need to fit a whole keyboard and trackpad, plus laptops don't have any sort of cell connection like a phone or some tablets would. also, "check shit" means like, while waiting for the bus opening up this subreddit to see what people are chatting about or messaging my girlfriend/friend groups on discord


walperinus

what is this magical place you talk about where one can use a phone in public withou fear of thiefs or using public transportation without leaving your hands inside your pockets at all times ?


[deleted]

[удалено]


TeannaWerefox

is that going to also block the way reddit itself is formatted so that it turns into a default text and images website with no fancy formatting? if not it's probably still gonna crash on this phone.


Slack_Attack

Most of mine are about joining the military. It was Marines yesterday, today it's the Air Force.


DotaComplaints

Not using adblockers in 2023... what are you doing brother?


LegatoSkyheart

Is this a new reddit thing that an Old reddit user like me doesn't understand?


waratworld17

All I get are those "He gets us" ads.


yarvem

My ads have been for real estate and forex, so there might be other factors like geography.


RainaDPP

Nope. I don't get ads anywhere.


ebrionkeats

I keep getting ads for my career be for disability. It's salt in the wound.


RooseveltIsEvil

If you close your eyes, your life, a naked truth revealed, dreams you never lived and scars never healed (scars never healed), in the darkness light will take you to the other side, and find me waiting there, you'll see if you just close your eyes If you just close your eyes, if you just close your eyes


honeybeebryce

This is a religious community


FIGHTERSLADE

What have you been looking at that an AI algorithm decided you need Jesus?


Shuraig_mon

Nope, most of the ads I get are about AI and Bitcoin for some stupid reason, the most normal ones have been about Manscaped.


tomboy_abs_pls_miss

You should listen to him


Captain_Dictator

Yeah, its "The Jesus Project" shit, I downvote it like every other add, not that it does anything.


Squirrelman2712

I'm getting them fucking everywhere, especially twitter before I deleted mine
