TL;DR: Reddit is removing the option to opt out of ad personalization, targeting ads based on user activity. Some specific ad categories can still be limited, but there’s no more opt-out option.
I have the feeling the whole internet is turning into shit rapidly.

I paid for that thing and now you send me ads? Pisses me off. This corporate greed is getting too much.

Hardware-wise it’s the best laptop you can buy. It’s fast, quiet with amazing battery life. Speakers are superb. Keyboard, touchpad and display it’s just very nice to work with. I’ve had several non Apple laptops in the past and they’re just no match.

Yeah that’s true I guess. Happens a lot in other countries too. Unlimited drinking for x consecutive nights for xx euro’s, that’s just asking for trouble.
These universal chat apps often do not offer all of the features the underlying apps have. Which makes sense but is probably a reason they never get massively adopted.
