What is with these "promoted" topics showing up at the top of the pages?

Was there discussion about this somewhere that I missed? Where they always there and my adblocker is no longer working? Why are they there?

Who's collecting the money from these posts and why?

they are ads from reddit, just ignore them.

Is your adblocker uBlockOrigin 1.13.10 in combination with firefox 55 or less by any chance? There's a bug in Firefox dealing with embedded webextensions and many people reported problems with uBlock not doing it's job properly.

If you're affected by this, go here for instructions to downgrade to the legacy version of uBlock.

i dont see them, you may have downloaded some malware or something of that nature, check out Malwarebytes if you wanna remove them, someone last week posted about this as well
