You Can Now Block Political Ads on Reddit

Election season occupies enough mental real estate as it is, so Reddit is letting its users preserve a modicum of sanity by permitting them to opt out of political ads.

The news came in a wider post to r/redditsecurity yesterday, where an admin said the company has updated its “Sensitive Advertising Categories” list to include ads related to politics and activism. This means you can opt out of these topical ads using the site’s existing ads filtering tools, per an update to the Reddit Changelog also released yesterday.
