[r/apolloapp] Boycotting advertisers has forced changes at companies like Fox News. I’ve started compiling a list of Reddit’s advertisers, so we can do the same. (feddit.de)

It seems obvious at this point that Reddit and their CEO do not care about how we feel. They’ve doubled down, tripled down, and quadrupled down.

I think there’s only one recourse remaining: Tell Reddit’s advertisers we will not be buying their products or services as long as they’re providing financial support to Reddit.

I’ve compiled a list of the advertisers I see the most frequently, and included their contact information when I could find it. Sometimes it’s email addresses, sometimes it’s contact forms. Sometimes their customer service is intentionally obscured, and I wasn’t able to locate anything.

Here’s what I’d suggest — write a brief message along these lines:

Hello, I’ve noticed your company advertises regularly on Reddit. As you may be aware, Reddit has suddenly decided to change its business practices, charging exorbitant amounts to app developers, which will have wide-reaching consequences for many, including those with disabilities.

There was no attempt to even give developers an opportunity to switch to a paid system, or to implement your ads into their apps.

Furthermore, Reddit’s CEO has been extremely dishonest through this process, insulting both app developers and the users who provide 100 percent of the content and moderation to their site.

I will not be using your products or services as long as you continue to provide financial support to Reddit.

Please feel free to add to, or change the list of advertisers and contact information.

Now, I’m sure many will be pessimistic about this, but keep in mind that advertiser boycotts had massive impacts on Fox News in the past. They’re directly or indirectly led to changes with hosts like Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, and Tucker Carlson; there’s a reason the advertisers for some of their top shows tend to be companies like My Pillow.
