To test this out, I fired up reddit.com in a private browsing session. The first four ads I saw were: a Windows 10 HP laptop, an AAA game from Square Enix, coronavirus messaging from the UK government, and a small indie game.

I don't think what you're saying is true at all.

I don't either. My theory is people grew up and now have AD influence.

Companies willing to run ADS in a non curated venue get traction the others do not.

People talking freely will say thing the company may not like. That is no big, unless they make it so.

They will also say a lot of other things, including stuff the company likes.

And that is where the traction comes from.

The Internet natives hate corporate bland and prefer real discussion.
