Reddit Settings: Updates to ad personalization, privacy, and location settings

Along with the few comments made by the admin in the thread paints a really shady picture. > Removing the ability to opt-out of ad personalization based on your Reddit activity, except in select countries. > Reddit requires very little personal information, and we like it that way. Our advertisers instead rely on on-platform activity—what communities you join, leave, upvotes, downvotes, and other signals—to get an idea of what you might be interested in. The vast majority of redditors will see no change to their ads on Reddit. For users who previously opted out of personalization based on Reddit activity, this change will not result in seeing more ads or sharing on-platform activity with advertisers. It does enable our models to better predict which ad may be most relevant to you. This along with the recent “gold” changes are continuing to show exactly who is running Reddit and their goal.
