I mean there's still Reddit, the chans, forums, etc, with a lot of activity, if you want to live those days again.

Reddit is quickly heading down the same path as Facebook. Especially with the new design.
Yep, just waiting for the day I can no longer opt out. Feels like it’s coming soon.

Boy those ad designs on the new layout sure are starting to look like regular posts. I’m sure it won’t get any worse, right?

Agreed; it seems like I'm having to re-opt out every day, at least once a day. I haven't figured out if it is a setting in the subs' that I read (maybe something in their themes?) or something on my end.

The ads say “PROMOTED” in capital blue letters and Adblockers still work. Is it really so bad?

That adage about boiling the frog by slowly upping the temperature so it doesn't notice probably applies here

The adage of people using up free things until the providers go bankrupt also applies.

not on iOS

Maybe design-wise, but the principles such as pseudonymity haven’t changed and that’s far more important in the long run.
