To be fair to Reddit, Reddit ads are consistently the best ads I’ve seen. I think Reddit formats the ad and makes it with the company to uphold the Reddit vibe and many times the ad also says something witty in the context of the subreddit I’m browsing (my guess is ads are limited to subreddits). The worst ads are twitter and YouTube, just a chore that I would much rather have skipped.

One reddit ad I saw was from a company that provides the service to "back up your GitHub repositories". Don't know if that company is still around.

  Are you saying there's something bad about backing up repositories? That seems like a very good service to have.

    I believe the implication is that one can 'back up' by pushing to any number of remotes

      I can't edit now, but an example occurred to me. A false dichotomy we often see: Self-hosted SCM, or elsewhere like Gitlab/GitHub? Why not both? Mirrors are another way of looking at backups

  Was it us ? I know that we have, on many occasions, run ads on Reddit highlighting exactly that use-case.
