    are people actually doing that or is it just reddit promoting other subreddits for free in the ad space?

      That was what I assumed but...who makes the ads? And it seems to be the same few, unless I'm getting targeted bois. I use Tor so I dunno maybe.

    I mean, it's possible someone is excited about their hobby project and is willing to pay to make it happen.
