Ya'll sure spend a lot on Reddit ads, even my wife sees them, and she's not your target audience. Is this effective? honestly curious.

I got downvoted in the comments of another spam post of theirs because I made a snarky remark. I think they have mod access here -- they can delete your comment, make it invisible, etc. I think they're deleting comments in this very thread right here.
I'm just tired of seeing your ads everywhere, Triplebyte. You're right, I am an engineer. You have found me. But, I have a job that I plan on staying at for years. May I please, please be excused from the endless barrage of triplebyte "stories"? (not "spam", guys, OK? that word is not to be used anymore in 2018)
In addition to already seeing an increasing number of engineers from both Seattle and Los Angeles applying to Triplebyte, two other trends drove our decision to open up in these two locations. First we've seen a continual drop in the number of Seattle based engineers who are willing to relocate to the Bay Area. It's dropped by over half since the start of the year and it's the first sustained drop we've seen since st…

Serious question, if your wife is a non technical ordinary end user, isn't it better to install ublock origin in Chrome and Firefox and somewhat reduce her risk of clicking on something malicious, by not showing the ads at all?
Yes, under any and all circumstances, this is the correct thing to do for safety and sanity.
When I get roped into doing "fix my computer" work for friends and family, it's also best to slap down a hosts blockfile. People get into some things I can't even imagine; it's like they're a one year-old sticking everything in sight in their mouths, just clicking on everything.
Why does location matter? Triplebyte's process is location independent. Is this an SEO play?

Re the SEO play idea and jumping straight to the assumption of deception, I've found it useful in life to switch my mental model away from "I don't understand, what's wrong with you?" towards "I don't understand, what's wrong with me?"

Absolutely. Highest income tax in the nation, couple with some of the highest cost of living in the world.
SV is in big trouble once more non-SV companies start paying comp that is competitive with SV.
This is already happening and I know several great engineers who preferred offers for the same or slightly lower comp outside of SV.
The trend will be strongest among senior and veteran engineers, since buying a decent house and raising a family is virtually non-affordable in SV.
Especially since SV was never great about paying extra for senior and experienced engineers. They're going to have a serious problem when the only people willing to relocate to SV are fresh grads willing to live with roommates.
California has benefited immensely from SV growing in its backyard, but now that this fortunate growth needs some tending, California is just shrugging its shoulders, and in some cases making it worse (e.g. NIMBY laws in SF preventing new construction).

As a person in the Pacific Northwest (Seattle-Vancouver area) it would require a truly ridiculous amount of money to convince me to live in the SF Bay/South Bay area, and physically commute to an office 5 days a week. Considering the cost of California income taxes, housing costs, etc. Vancouver has an insane housing market but it is still possible to buy a nice 2BD condo in a concrete high-rise building for a relati…
