Firstly, to enforce that reddit now has to police everyone who uses their api, and engage in the inevitable game of whackamole.

Secondly, I know I didn’t see any reddit ads when I was using Boost for Reddit, so it’s actively happening. I was seeing Boost’s banner ad down the bottom of the app when I wasn’t on my home network.

Lastly, I’m not convinced that surviving on ad revenue is a viable model after seeing dozens of companies go under, if fail to escape the red, either trying to get by on ad revenue or trying to switch to subscription modules because it wasn’t working.
