Dear User,

We will soon begin rolling out changes to Reddit’s User settings. It is getting a refresh that includes changes to ad personalization, privacy preferences, and location settings.

As part of these changes, we are retiring a setting that you have previously turned on that limited how we used your activity from the Reddit platform to personalize ads. We have replaced the setting with a new option to select categories of ads that you may not wish to see.

More details are available in our announcement and help center.

These changes are rolling out starting today and you may see the changes over the next few days.

Users will be tracked with no opt out. Posts may be monetized, which will make content even worse No refund or any type of usable credit for users that spent hundreds on Reddit coins The entire vibe has done a 180° since all these new “positive changes” are rolled out.

      No, it said it won’t roll out in specific countries. Which most likely means EU countries.

      If they try to circumvent GDPR, they would get fined so hard Serena Williams would slap Ohanian to the other side of the tennis court.

        “Social media website receives record fine for GDPR violation”, I’m sure we’ve seen that headline somewhere before…
