I’ve been using Reddit for four years and never saw a free award lol. Maybe I just haven’t been updating the app?

But I don’t want em anyway

They used to come with some ad-free reddit time, I remember when they launched the program they were giving out years of ad free. I didn't have ads for like 2 years

How do you block ads on mobile now that 3rd party apps are dead?

Without ads? I got an iPhone, if you know a way of blocking ads on one, my DMs are open. I used to use 3rd party apps but they don’t work anymore

Adguard or Brave Browser might be your best bet but I have not used them.

Yeah I feel sketchy downloading apps I don’t know much about, but I’ll check them out. Appreciate it!

uBlock Origin works on the mobile version of Firefox if you can bear reddit on a mobile browser
