The censorship of Reddit for advertisement purposes has been a topic of discussion in a select few subreddits for quite awhile. It looks like the rest of reddit is finally realizing what is going on.&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t have anything against it, people have to make money and with free services like reddit, the users are the product that is sold to advertisers.&lt;p&gt;What I don&amp;#x27;t understand is, why not just admit it? From my ~20 years of internet usage, I have learned the one constant is you never lie to the internet.&lt;p&gt;Also, from the list of prohibited content:&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt;Anything that harasses, bullies, or abuses an individual or group of people&lt;p&gt;This sounds like a rule that some teenager made up for guild forums. How in the world does Huffman think using something so vague as an actual punishable rule will turn out well?&lt;p&gt;Anyway, good luck to Huffman he is going to need it. I feel like voat.co is going to see a very huge increase in numbers during the next few months.</text></comment>
