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 have an old account that I wiped 9 times, but used to post the spez getting railed by busty Garfield meme, that of course were deleted by an admin. It’s lately getting harassment PM’s/comments regarding older posts that were reactivated despite multiple deletions. It’s like they’re trying to bait me back into an argument lol, it’s weird and really sad for the communities.
