Reddit is testing in-app search ads as traffic from Google declines
The company wants to help advertisers reach users who show a "high purchase" intent.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets center on Reddit testing ads inside search results and link the move to declining traffic from Google. TechCrunch alone frames the test as a way to squeeze more revenue from existing users and ties it to Google’s AI search changes, while Engadget alone highlights advertisers reaching users with “high purchase” intent.
