But it's only really an subset of that demographic and i suspect the age spread reaches far lower then 18(reddit might pretend otherwise for regulatory purposes). And i suspect a reason for the entire debacle is that a lot of the user base weren't seeing ads at all due to ad-blockers or the use of 3rd party apps. It's a problem that also seems to plague twitch in that they simply aren't generating the revenue that's expected from the amount of traffic generated.

Neither of which would be a problem for them if they didn’t remake and destroy the default UX on their desktop and made a functional app. By pushing users to third party solutions they also pushed them off of the ads. Because if you want a web extension to redirect to “old.reddit.com”, why not throw an adblocker on top?
