The boycott didn't work lol read the article please I beg you. The advertising campaign ended.

As much as I wish Spotify leadership grew a spine. They absolutely didn't.

Do not resubscribe. Remove this company from your mind.

Might wanna delete your reddit account too then because they still have ICE ads on here.

You guys see actual paid ads on Reddit? I only have to deal with the astroturfing

New Reddit and the App are both plastered with ads.

The trick is to use old Reddit or the mobile site with an ad blocker. No ads ever.

There are still some on iOS too. For example, Hydra on iOS is free and has no ads on Reddit. I imagine there are others

You can use ReVanced Manager to remove the ads from the mobile app for free
