Thank you. Yes this is much better. When talking about how things would look a picture is a must.

> In early testing of the new format, Reddit found that free-form ads outperform all other ad types in average click through rate (CTR) by 28%, along with increased community engagement when comments are enabled.

What they don't mention is that the comments are usually making fun of the ad, because it's Reddit.

And the old paid ads are actual user posts.

Front page looks like a mix of fake ragebait and ads.

How much is left on Reddit, outside of niche small subs that you have to "know" to use? E.g. the actual good content.
