    I visit Reddit but without an account. I don’t vote, comment or post. UBlock Origin and Firefox take care of the ads. No engagement/read-only mode costs them money serving up content while I add nothing. I save my engagement for Lemmy.

      If it were only about the ads, they would allow third party apps to show their ads via the API.

      The statistical data that they collect from your usage is still extremely valuable. They’re still fingerprinting you and tracking you around the site. They’re still A/B testing you with suggested content.
