If the performance weakness continues for a week or two, the agency would start recommending decreasing spend with Reddit or directing it to other platforms.

After the blackout, we will be closely monitoring user behavior on Reddit and guide clients when we can unpause,” said Freddy Dabaghi, managing director at Stagwell-backed Crispin Porter Bogusky, which has asked clients to stop campaigns, depending on their client goals.

    yk you could “side-load” install the adblocker extension manually from flash drive ;)

    EDIT: /s? I am aware there are jobs that require very high security, this was just a cheeky don’t-really-do-this remark.

      If they aren’t allowed to install AdBlockers, I doubt they are allowed to plug in random flash drives into their work machines

        One possible solution: if OP is allowed to connect their phone to their work computer, and they have a rooted Android phone, they could get around this using VPN tethering. I’ll spell out how to do this, in case someone else can benefit from it.

        What’s needed:

        • a rooted Android phone
        • a VPN based ad blocker (Blokada, AdAway, etc)
        • a USB cable
        • a VPN hotspot app

        Steps:

        1. Connect your phone to a VPN based ad blocker
        2. Connect your phone to your computer
        3. Open the VPN hotspot app. Turn on USB tethering, then rndis0

        If it doesn’t work, try turning on USB debugging on your phone, or changing default USB configuration under Developer options
