> At least the response doesn’t have an ad injected between each paragraph and is intentionally padded out so you scroll past more ads…

Wouldn't know about this thanks to old.reddit.com - once that's gone I don't see much reason to use Reddit.



There are ads on the internet? Do you mean in that short window between installing a browser and installing the extensions?


An ad blocker won't stop ads embedded into the content. You can get free fries at McDonalds on Fridays with any $1 purchase if you install their app!

Works on firefox mobile too, just have to go to extensions for all firefox (as opposed to the default mobile firefox extensions page), and add it from there.


I was generalizing to more sites than just reddit.

Mostly I see a ton of ai slop that pollutes google search results, you’ll see an intro paragraph that looks vaguely coherent, but the more you scroll, the more apparent you’re reading ai slop.
