    Having tried to use Reddit advertising for business (a national company), it really wasn’t very good. They had very poor targeting and algorithms.

      I have a family member that runs their company digital advertising strategy. Said the same thing… and that it was hard to track conversions. They ended up pulling their ads.

      • I work in the digital advertising industry…reddit is pushing hard to grow it’s advertising business and are being helped by major players in the industry.

        I’ve been tracking it for a while, because I know it was foreshadowing the decline of reddit as I knew it

        Yup. That was our experience too! My boss and I were both Redditors and we thought it would be cool.

        Narrator: It wasn’t.
