Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain /r/The_Donald already didn't have ads on it as the article implied it did. Reddit only allows ads in white-listed subs and T_D was never white listed AFAIK. Edit: Found where I read this: https://www.reddit.com/r/stopadvertising/comments/85vdwo/groundrules_for_this_community/ https://www.reddit.com/r/stopadvertising/comments/85vdwo/gro... Edit 2: my comment was moved from a different thread that was on a TechCrunch article on this. TechCrunch claimed that this quarantine would mean that ads would no longer run on T_D.

Quarantine also prevents their posts from showing up on the front page or in the /r/all feed and (I think) you can’t access the sub if you aren’t already a member and are on the mobile app.

  They already removed it from the front page a while back. It would only appear for subscribers.

  Also, subscribed members can't access unless they are email verified, which means the vast majority of their upvoter sockpuppeteers can't get in.

As far as I know ads are served on all subreddits until they are quarantined. According to https://reddit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205701245-Quarantined-Subreddits https://reddit.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/205701245-Quara... they totally demonatize, meaning even reddit gold doesn't generate profit for reddit.

  How is that possible, if you buy reddit gold before you use it?

  Found my source: https://www.reddit.com/r/stopadvertising/comments/85vdwo/groundrules_for_this_community/ https://www.reddit.com/r/stopadvertising/comments/85vdwo/gro... This source also shows T_D wasn't on the whitelist, since it was on of the subs being protested by /r/stopadvertising.
