Reddit is rolling out a new feature that enables users to hide undesirable ads from their feeds for at least a year. The 'Hide' option will be available across various platforms, including iOS, Android, and the Reddit website, and comes weeks after the platform introduced filters for ads related to sensitive topics. Users can easily re-hide the ads if they reappear after the period. This update signifies Reddit's commitment to improving user experience by providing more control over advertisements encountered.
Reddit is going rolling out a feature that lets you hide an ad from your feed for "at least a year," the company says in a post spotted by Ars Technica.
When the update is available to you, you'll be able to see the "Hide" option for "any ads that appear in feeds, such as your home or subreddit feed," Reddit says.
The option looks like an eye with a line through it, as shown in a screenshot. When an ad becomes visible again after you hide it, you can re-hide it if you'd like, according to the company.
Last year, Reddit added filters that let users limit ads from "sensitive" categories like alcohol, dating, gambling, and politics and activism.
