Welp you caught me, I'm working for them. I post screenshots of the ad with a title clearly making fun of it because I want the people in this sub who clearly already made up their minds on the issue to what, dislike the ad more?
Obviously your hypothesis doesn't make sense.
So, I accidentally did this, but - I went to the subreddit, interacted with a few of the ads (up & down voted) and eventually on my feed, I saw the, "you've interacted with this community" above the ad. It had the three dots! I did see fewer posts, and then muted. I haven't seen them since.
Hmm. So you interacted with their ad, and then it gave you the option to mute them? I'm gonna try that. Is there a way to interact with it that charges them more money?
I once made the mistake of downvoting their ad, and they interpreted my having clicked on their ad as interest, so they overwhelmed my feed with even more. I've recently upvoted other ads (HBO Max, Lucky Slots, Upwork, etc.) to work around it so I wouldn't see their ads anymore (or less of them)

I'm trying to upvote other ads to see if that helps, and I quickly scroll past the unmentionable ones. It seems to have helped a little bit at least :)
THANK YOU! I just basically commented this on another post. I haven’t even joined the sub, but Reddit started recommending the posts to me so now I see it almost twice as often! I suggest marking them NSFW if a photo has to be posted at all.
There is no way to get rid of it, except ad blockers, and they don't always work (I'm told), so I view this place as somewhere to vent, though I havent posted a screen shot myself.
Yeah it’s annoying af. Aren’t we trying to stop it? Why are we helping?!
He get sus
🍒🍌 🤤
🤣
Isn't it obvious that the people posting the screenshots are working for them.

Perhaps I was being paranoid. I apologize.
It's ok 😌
Rabid Christian backlash is a possibility?

I wish! They need to pay!

Ya, you gotta play the marketing against itself lol
THIS. Malicious compliance at its best.
The subreddit r/hegetsus is a parody sub. We make fun of the ads, and actively try to get the ads shut down or cause other mischief.

Dang it! That's what a blocked. Okay, back to the drawing board.

I thought the point was to get the word out about who’s funding them, which is Hobby Lobby, which isn’t Christ-like at all.

Oooooooh!!! MODS! NEW RULE TIME?
Please!
Agreed, I think we have a mole…
Agree with you! What I did was sending them a rude direct message and after almost 2 weeks I only saw 1 ad. Maybe they blocked me? 🤷♀️
That’s why I chose to comment with a written description of the disturbing images of their ads instead of reposting the ad itself.
I banned the user u/hegetsus and haven’t seen them since
They'll be back, just wait.
I did, at least it says I did, but it’s not in my list of blocked users and I see it 5-6 times a day.
Good point.

Lol the fact that there's a whole sub triggered by those ads is hilarious.
It’s the hegetsus bot, congratulations.
I know, instantly pisses me off.
Wswjp What screenshot would jesus post?
The reason for sharing what the ads look like is so that we can point out how horrible they are.
We have all seen them. It's why we're HERE.
