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.

      Yep, the ideal workflow for migrating would be something like this:

      1. Use Reddit Account Manager to neatly organize and store your Reddit accounts, bookmarks, and subscriptions
      2. Request your data archive from Reddit itself
      3. Use something like Redact or Power Delete Suite to remove your content from Reddit
      4. Permanently delete your accounts from Reddit
      5. Move to a federated alternative (optional)
