A List of Companies That Pay To Advertise on Reddit : reddit

So what would happen if I sent a thoughtful message about how disappointed I am with the advertiser for sticking with Reddit through these changes. What if I discussed how what’s going on there is a breach of trust against its own content creators and resource providers (us). And that they are devaluing their own product (us & insert advertiser).

Would that be worth anything?

I personally don't think that a message like that would make much of a difference because they won't understand the nuances of the situation that's occurring. All they care about is eyeballs on their product, and avoiding association with unsavory things.

Because of that, I would think that a better tactic would be to talk about how you saw their advertisements in a subreddit with inappropriate content and ask if that was intentional. Asking if it was intentional is a good tactic because it turns it from a report into a question. Even better, word it like "Do you have any comment?" as if you're a reporter writing a story. You don't have to say who you're writing "a story" for, you can just say that you're an independent journalist working on a piece and wanted to get a statement on their choice to place advertising on a service that serves their advertisement next to (give some examples)

With that tactic, you can also skip the standard feedback forms and attempt to contact their advertising arm or PR department.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
