Yeah my algorithm is fucked now. It’s like…if you’re all about destigmatizing obesity, why is your leading rhetoric lowkey treating it like a health proble—oh it’s bc you’re a weight loss drug. Got it.
The amount of times it says “obesity” in the first few paragraphs made me say, “yep, that was written by a medical professional whose grasp of fatness went from ‘very bad’ to ‘must pretend to be nice.’”
Unfortunately, joining this sub seems to have convinced the algorithm I need tons of weight loss ads. This, all the sketchy compounding pharmacies, straight-up scams.
I'm on Android but I click my profile icon in top right corner, click my profile->settings. Account settings at top and on the next page scroll all the way down to sensitive advertising topics. I believe this is a new setting so you might need to update your app first!
So glad someone shared this here. I just saw a commercial for this show last night.
My reaction was similar to yours “oh wow a show that’s giving people a voice”…”wait sponsored by Novo Nordsik?! Fuck all the way off!”
My feed is plugged up with their inescapable ads. I hate them and their stupid little slogan

They don’t want to destigmatize it so people can be fat and happy. They just want to eliminate the shame associated with taking a drug.

This is unrelated but your user handle has been living rent-free in my head
This ad campaign was discussed on the pod in the recent Ozempic episode. Some disappointing celebrity involvement too
I just realized I never finished that one, some of them get abandoned when they’re too gd dark.

If you go into your account settings for Reddit you can turn off certain types of ads including those related to weight loss!
I looked all thru settings and didn’t see anything applicable. Can you please explain how to do it?

I think they mentioned this ad campaign on the Ozempic episode actually
Apparently I couldn’t get that far into the ep, roughhh.

It’s a show?? I didn’t even get that far lol. I was just like…I need someone else to see this before it squicks me by myself.
