TL;DR: Reddit is removing the option to opt out of ad personalization, targeting ads based on user activity. Some specific ad categories can still be limited, but there's no more opt-out option.

if this is your version of the end of times, I suggest you take a look out your window at the burning hellscape of western north america and other locations around the globe. I also hope you're not too attached to birds or polar bears.

birds or polar bears

Phew! Luckily I just like penguins...

[-] FaceDeer@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago

I have bad news. Penguins are a hybrid of bird and polar bear.

Even the name Penguin is a hybrid of polar and penguin.
