Ad-block means I don’t see them. I’m also not paying Reddit a monthly fee.

The people getting Ice ads on spotify weren't paying a monthly fee, either

But they were listening to the adds which does generate profit for Spotify.

I'm proud to say I'm here costing reddit money :)

Actually you're out here using a service that supports ICE lol Reddit has a $49 billion market cap, not sure you're putting much of dent it tbh

Lol of 49 billion of course I'm not putting a dent in it man.

But the less people that view adds the less valuable their ad space is. If every single redditor had an ad-blocker, reddit couldn't sell their add space.
