Exactly.
Seems a big part of the Reddit appeal is the love for feeling a part of the collective.
All at once this reinforces that sense, lends a suggestion of passive nobility to using the site and pre-emptively defends an increase in advertising.
I expect they'll also see some jump in guilt tripping by the community around adblocking as well.

- MarkTee 13y agoMaking them any more blatant isn't going to do much good, seeing as those who block ads won't be able to see them.
