    I would expect that not filtering ads (unless the user pays the content site) could be an enforceable stipulation to anyone using the APIs, no? I would also think that ads could be served through the common “get new posts” API in an opaque manner pretty easily.

      Firstly, to enforce that reddit now has to police everyone who uses their api, and engage in the inevitable game of whackamole. Secondly, I know I didn’t see any reddit ads when I was using Boost for Reddit, so it’s actively happening.
