    Having tried to use Reddit advertising for business (a national company), it really wasn’t very good. They had very poor targeting and algorithms.

      I have a family member that runs their company digital advertising strategy. Said the same thing… and that it was hard to track conversions. They ended up pulling their ads.

        Yup. That was our experience too! My boss and I were both Redditors and we thought it would be cool.

        Narrator: It wasn’t.

        I work in the digital advertising industry…reddit is pushing hard to grow it’s advertising business and are being helped by major players in the industry.

        I’ve been tracking it for a while, because I know it was foreshadowing the decline of reddit as I knew it

      Reddit has attempted, multiple times, to reach out to Andrew Tate to partner with him on advertisements, including twice while he was imprisoned.

      I know this because their numbskull marketing folks can’t proofread the email address they’re sending outreach to, and I received the outreach emails as a result. Thanks, Reddit!
