What fraction of a penny do you think you're owed?

It went toward paying for servers so that you could use reddit for free.

Funny, I thought that is what the unblockable ads were for.

That’s also part of it.
But uBlock Origin never seemed to have trouble blocking them.

No it didn’t.

You signed it all away the moment you scrolled down that EULA 😂

Can't wait for the day a major court declares EULAs universally nonbinding outside of the most common-sense terms.
"We can store and display your content and use stuff you publicly post as examples in advertisements for our platform" is pretty common sense.
"We can use the things you post to do complex data analytics to package and sell your identity to advertisers" is fucking sus.
"We can use the things you post to train ANN generative systems to build next-generation technologies to impersonate you and your peers" is simply nuts.

Seems like it would never stand up in court. Prove that -I- agreed to anything. To do that, you first have to prove that nobody has ever created an account under my name, and more importantly, prove that Reddit accounts have never been hacked and that the person who clicked the button was even in my household. And if they keep that extensive of records to where they can follow every action taken by every user on the platform, it also implies that they are tracking my personal actions even before I agreed to anything.
On the other hand, do they actually have a EULA? It’s been almost 14 years since I created my account, and there certainly wasn’t anything about selling my data for AI training when I signed up. If they change the terms of service, they are responsible for notifying everyone, otherwise they can’t claim that anyone agreed to these changes.
I’m sure their lawyers could weasel their way through it some how, but it still seems to come down to them claiming they changed the agreement without notification but the users should still be legally bound by the new terms?

Oh, is that what those things do?
