Removing the ability to opt-out of ad personalization based on your Reddit activity, except in select countries.
Reddit requires very little personal information, and we like it that way. Our advertisers instead rely on on-platform activity—what communities you join, leave, upvotes, downvotes, and other signals—to get an idea of what you might be interested in.
The vast majority of redditors will see no change to their ads on Reddit. For users who previously opted out of personalization based on Reddit activity, this change will not result in seeing more ads or sharing on-platform activity with advertisers. It does enable our models to better predict which ad may be most relevant to you.

I mean... this is a community set up FOR discussing reddit.... why are you subbed?
Best to ignore these comments, I see them in every big post on this community.
How can you try to promote this platform over Reddit when you can’t even use lemmy correctly in the first place.

Why does anyone slow down to look at a car crash on the highway?
If your old shitty apparent burns down years after you move out, your still interested by the news.
This comment pops up all the time. I agree when the post is someone still using reddit and complaining about how bad it is, but this one is just news. I read plenty of news about things that don't necessarily affect me.
Where do you think you are?
This sub generally isn’t for those who love Reddit.
