    Can someone explain what this means in laymans terms? How will this affect the Reddit user experience?

      My interpretation is that you won’t be able to trust any advice or recommendations because you’ll have no way of knowing if you’re reading the words of a genuine person or a well-placed ad. From the business perspective, your ads will be more valuable because it’s a “better” way of targeting your market.

      I could be wrong, but that’s how I read it.
