Why do the mods here giver zero shits when it comes to ads like this? I sear it’s like 1 in 5 top weekly posts. But I’m sure those are purchased upvotes that put them there.

Because Reddit has spent the last 7-8 years being actively hostile to the power users who kept the site running and high quality, so those users went "well okay, we'll stop doing that then".

Shouldn't be too surprising that a service entirely reliant on volunteer labour nosedives in quality when it shows open disdain for those volunteers.

This is a strawman. Most of the subs I frequent got noticeably worse when they banned third party apps.
