I was thinking about trying reddit ads for my e-com / wall art biz, and came across your response! How would one get into spending / advertising to discord communities? Very interested in hearing more if you'd be willing to share.

i personally find it getting way too personalized and realistic, that sometimes i even accidentally click into an ad, thinking it was a post response.

Honestly, if you’re capable of getting your content to stick through posting/commenting, I feel like that converts better on Reddit rather than straight up running paid ads.

agreed. but to do this, either you're really skilled in a specific sub reddit community topic or you've mastery of that topic

Reddit Ads work best when the targeting is focused on relevant communities and the ad feels native, because broad targeting can bring traffic but often gives weaker engagement and conversions.

reddit Ads can work but targeting the right communities makes a big difference. I’ve seen niche targeting and conversion focused campaigns perform better than just chasing cheap clicks.
