The same works with Brave too! D'uh!

Right, the information on Reddit is more likely (but not guaranteed) to be authentic, not necessarily more likely to be correct.
As well, authenticity can be investigated more than in reviews. If the person has a bunch of genuine seeming posts in other categories the risk of not being authentic is acceptably low for me (might seem like a bit much, but be burned by obscured ads enough times...)
If a tweet gets shared enough, its author gets approached by brands who want to pay them to add ads below the tweet. The same probably happens on Reddit, except it's even easier, because anyone can write a review, since the author of a popular post doesn't have a visibility advantage when posting a reply to it.
Just find some random users, and offer to pay them for a good recommendation on some "what is the best product to do X?" post.

True. Their implementation of a video player baffles the mind too.
I've heard a lot of hate about their video player, but it always works for me. What exactly is the issue with it?
It's funny, I've never seen it work correctly, even in the simplest case, on any of my devices.
Usually, clicking on the video does nothing. If I wait for enough seconds, it might start, maybe without sound. Or it might start the sound without the image. If I try to skip to some moment that hasn't been loaded yet, it usually just blocks and stops doing anything.
Maybe you have the exact browser/device/screen size/OS combination that the devs test on. Note I don't use the mobile Reddit app, only the website.
I'd like the devs to please just use the browser's reader, without adding their own JS.

What's insulting is that you don't need to go far to get your type of feedback. Yet development efforts are spent on developing gamification mechanism that are utterly pointless, April Fool's or, wait, live streaming? They still manage two concurrent designs and have been for years - it's the longest frontend migration I've ever seen. They just started giving tools to the moderation community that has been keeping their platform alive and moderated.

#75You can achieve the same result on Firefox without any extention (and maybe Chrome too). To do so have use "Custom Keywords"[0], which kind of allow you to change the behaviour of your search bar. For example, one of my keywords is "rd", and typing "rd my search" in my search bar launch a search on Google with "my search site:reddit.com". I've seen people doing really cool things using these custom keywords and JS, I…
Chrome can do the same via search engine shortcuts. This actually should be considered a basic browser feature, and as far as I can tell virtually every desktop browser since IE3 in 1996 does have it built in, it’s just not very well known.
Not sure why you're being downvoted. Such shortcuts (aka Site Search in Chrome) are a longstanding feature in Chrome, and it's unclear why you might need or want to do with a browser plugin instead.

It's already happening - marketers are creating sockpuppet accounts on Reddit to promote their products. This approach isn't sustainable.
Do you have any examples of what this looks like?
This person drives in a small car in other drivers' blind spots, waits for them to try to merge in front of them, then uses a novelty car horn.
Then they upload the video, which Reddit loves because it is watching someone else possibly make an error thereby making the viewer feel better about themselves, and then they get an opportunity to share a link for the horn in the comments when people (or maybe the original poster’s alternative accounts) inevitably ask where they can also get a horn like it:

I do not see what other explanation there could be for why a person is recording and uploading so many incidents of the same type within such a short timespan.

I doubt it. I run Linux and Firefox. And Firefox on Android.

Should work for any Chromium-based browser, such as Edge, Vivaldi or Opera.
One of the few good things that comes from homogenizing browsers under one engine: they all pretty much work the same.

Can also search like this: pancakes site:reddit.com intitle:"/r/memes" Will show results for pancakes from Reddit, from the memes subreddit.
You can also include the subreddit in the site operator for the more lazy of us i.e. pancakes site:reddit.com/r/memes Can't force it to return the old.reddit.com versions, unfortunately.
You just need a redirect rule to do it, right?

I would look for a reproducible test case but I'd feel like I'm doing Reddit's job for free.
