As an Apollo user I never knew this ad existed until coming to kbin.

Old reddit and ublock. I knew it existed from the shadows it cast into the comments of people complaining about it.

As a RiF and Apollo user I can say the same

[–] Ataraxia@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I saw people complaining about it on reddit but being on joey I never had to deal with them either. I would have quit reddit sooner.

[–] EsotericEmbryo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've used Baconreader for as lpng as I can remember and the only reason I even know it's an ad is seeing you all talk about it just now lol was it really that bad?

[–] Mallowmarsh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It was really, really bad. Not seeing that damn ad on here has been amazing. I mean, not seeing any ads has been amazing, but fuck that one in particular.

[–] vercimusart@kbin.social 21 points 1 year ago

I could tell Reddit was going downhill in the wrong way when those stupid ads kept on coming back after repeated blocks and reports. So happy to be free of it.

This is some grade-a shitposting, and I'm here for it

Lol you’re making me feel better about me moving away

[–] End0fLine@startrek.website 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're ruining my zen thing here, man.

[–] pleb_maximus@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

This will not stand, you know. This agression will not stand, man.

[–] the_war_wan@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Just take your goddamned upvote.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

TBH, this would have been a more appropriate ad.

[–] funbreaker@u.fail 9 points 1 year ago

You gave me a fright, man. I do NOT miss those popping up even with my adblocker.

I don't get it

[–] BourbonLaser@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Time to make a White Russian. Where's my bathrobe and flip flops? This is an ad campaign I could get behind.

[–] Sterile_Technique@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Were there billboards with the 'he gets us' shit on them? I swear I remember seeing them all over, but my brain might just be conflating online spam with irl spam. /shrug

Yes, and bus/train ads. I pass one every day on the commuter train near Angel Stadium in Anaheim.

The Dude Abides.

[–] Setarkus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The only times I saw a "he gets us" post was on hellsomememes and I was like "this is nice :D" and didn't understand why people would be upset about them or what would be christian about them

[–] LilBiFurious@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

At least in the circles I'm in most of the criticism comes from the fact that the media campaign was largely funded by the Hobby Lobby founder, who is notoriously anti-science/queer/abortion/etc.

[–] KahunaDaKine@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's the same with those (Insert Theme Here): Pass it On billboards by the Foundation for a Better Life. They're funded by Phil Anschutz, a billionaire who owns the AEG entertainment group and has funded groups like the Parents Television Council, the Federalist Society (which helped get all those GOP justices on the Supreme Court and federal courts), and other conservative groups. I gag having to pass those things on the freeway.

The story will change depending on who tells it. I believe in Jesus, sure enough. But not the one that these people think they serve. Be blessed.

[–] Specific_Skunk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It started off almost refreshing but the ads slowly (very slowly, over the span of weeks) moved to more… loosely defined messages. The imagery went from color to black and white. It came across as less of a questioning statement to more of a… I don’t even know. It induced that uncomfortable feeling you get when someone is fake-happy but aggressive about it.

[–] Setarkus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Oh damn, that sounds horrible. Now I'm even more glad I didn't see these

[–] Mohkia@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Haha! That damned add was incessant. I guess reddit felt I needed to repent or something. So glad to be away from that crap!

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ugh. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

[–] bill_1992@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I found out about the the "He gets us" ads from comments, because I only used old w/ ad blocker or a 3p app...

[–] rockyTron@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

This is pretty awesome because the Admin of sh.itjust.works's handle is TheDude

Mind if I do a j?

[–] snowseth@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Every time I saw those ads on the reddit app I reported them for misleading or something. It's funded by hypocritical liars. https://www.npr.org/2023/02/06/1154880673/jesus-commercial-super-bowl-billboard-he-gets-us-hobby-lobby-evangelical-billion

Can I have a white caucasian?
