Reddit is redirecting some impressions away from existing communities, and some advertisers are pausing campaigns.

    Smart move of them to redirect away from closed subs to ones still open.

    Though, I wonder what’s next - pointing to archive.org copies of reddit content before things went dark? Embedding kbin and lenny content to make it look like it’s from (and on) reddit? I suspect it’s not going to be sustainable.

      They are redirecting anyone - they are serving display ads that were intended for visibility within certain subs, to people who are viewing other subs or r/all.
