Reddit is enhancing user control over advertisements. A new feature allows users to block ads from specific advertisers for a year. This change will roll out across Reddit’s website and its iOS and Android apps over the next few weeks. By clicking the Hide button on an unwanted ad, users can prevent future ads from that advertiser for at least a year. After this period, users can re-hide the ad if necessary. Some users have noted a daily limit on hiding ads, though Reddit has not officially confirmed this. This move comes as 90% of Reddit users express a desire for greater control over the ads they encounter on the platform.

20h If I see an ad on any social media platform that I don’t like or do not want to see I just click not interested and block where it came from and it goes away.

Mar 13 This app is giving me ads from a private account that I can’t interact with, including a survey that I can’t answer because I don’t follow the private account… the people in charge here are absolutely clueless

22h Reddit will allow users to hide ads from their feeds from an advertiser account for “at least a year”; some users report seeing a daily limit for hiding ads (

Mar 13 Don’t block accounts that are ads. Mute them. If you block they still show up on the timeline
