There's a nifty widget we're dropping in later today. In fact, we're doublechecking with our sales team to make sure removing banner ads from programming.reddit altogether (replacing them with the job widget) won't interfere with any signed deals. I think proggit readers would prefer that over traditional ads.
- cdr 17y agoHow many proggit readers even see ads?
- axod 17y agoI'd say about 90-95%. Also if the ads are served locally, adblock etc won't block them by default unless you do something silly like call your page advert.html.
- cdr 17y agoI can't recall the last time I saw an ad on reddit, but it's quite possible I blocked them myself at some point. I would be genuinely surprised if most technically-savvy people didn't do the same.
- lief79 17y agoI've been developing for several years, and I usually visually tune them out. I only adblock the companies that do pop-ups/pop-unders, or verbal ads. Flashblock tends to take care of the worse offenders anyway. If the ads are supporting a community then, I figure they deserve the change to appear, even if I'm probably not going to do anything with them. Same thing with the PVR ... if it's an interesting looking commercial, I'll occasionally go back to watch it the first time I see it. Of course, that might just be me.
