"This makes me wonder if the majority of the Reddit clicks are accidental."
That might not be a mistake on Reddit's part.
My local newspaper has a horrible website. Things move around continually as the page renders, and it is very easy to accidentally click an ad. I'm sure that isn't an accident.
TLDR:
* Reddit Ads are relatively easy to set up and start getting clicks.
* The Reddit numbers reports for clicks and conversions are dubious.
* Engagement from Reddit users is miserable.
