Can we stop guilt tripping fans into giving foul balls to kids? (self.baseball)

I’m 39, I have been to over 1000 games, I have never naturally caught a ball, but my friend next to me did and I told him to keep it, not give it to the kid next to us, because it’s a rare thing and the kid will have more opportunities later in life. The fans near us were guilt tripping my friend and he finally gave in. I understand you want the kid to have a good time, and get energized for the game of baseball... but can we please leave it up to the person who catches the ball? It’s not the kids ball, it’s the fan who caught it... he might have been waiting 39 years... or more... for that opportunity. </rant>

you should search for 'bunny' instead of 'rabbit' though because rabbit gets you a lot of weird poo poo that is not pictures of rabbits at all

From what I can tell, Reddit's advertising department is incompetent.

https://www.reddit.com/r/redditads/comments/8oev8r/i_just_got_hit_with_900_of_ads_which_drained_by/

quote:

I just got hit with $900 of ads which drained by debit account dry
I've emailed support, but ultimately I'm extremely worried about where my money has gone. I have spend limits on all 3 of my campaigns that are tiny compared to what I was just charged.

In the past 2 days I got got hit with a bunch of standard $26.51 daily payments (about 12 of them), and as of this morning I was hit with 11 x $53.02 debits consecutively with no valid reason.

There's no increase in traffic through my advertising panel, so its not like I received any extra traffic for the ads

It's locked out all my debit funds in my bank account and I'm not sure how to proceed. Is there an emergency contact for support I can deal with?

Anyone else have issues like this in the past and know how to proceed?

[EDIT] I've spoken to my bank and their only advice is that I should cancel the card. They've told me the transactions are being approved as well by the Ads platform, and there's no way to remove the card from my account page.

Not only that but I'm continuing to get billed every hour or so another $53.02 which when I hit $0 will start hitting me overdraw fees

[EDIT][EDIT] Your teams desperately need Live chat / after hours phone numbers for these kind of incidents.

[EDIT][EDIT][EDIT] The transactions are still hitting me, I'm cancelling my card (only card I have also), hope that doesn't effect the process of having the money refunded... I've checked all my site analytics and there's clearly no way the advertising is being served up accidentally

[EDITx4] support contacted me just saying they are investigating but I'm getting pretty worried now, I'm not super well off and do not have the finances right now to take this kind of blow, especially if it's going to take days or god forbid weeks to resolve.

[EDITx5] Email acknowledging the issue and outlining a resolution deep sigh of relief thanks to support for following through, feel a lot better now

quote:

Hello,

We are also facing this issue.

Got charges with $720 of ads for a $100 campaign. On dashboard it only shows 80.30 was spent.

I stopped the ads, hopefully it will work.

We got hit with **$8000** in ad charges. Nutso.

I have been affected and was overcharged $260 when I was suppose to be charged only $20. I lost total trust and am extremely disappointed.

Really makes me want to hand them my card info.

I wouldn’t. Last time I went on reddit there were a lot of subs which had been going for so long that all the decent posters had said all they have to say and answered so many newbie questions that they had wandered off, leaving a sub full of newbies and fanboys all circlejerking the gear they themselves use because: “I am right, everyone else is wrong and I can’t entertain the idea that someone else can have something newer or better than I do, and if you are a newbie you have to start at rock bottom because I had to suffer so you do too”

It's an issue outside the computer subreddits. Most of the relationship / dating subreddits seem to be questions and answers posed by 18 year olds (even if they're 26, have a look at the SA r/relationships thread). I sometimes read the true crime and mystery subreddits and sensible discussion is being slowly driven out to be replaced by weirdos barking about conspiracy, white slavery and absurdly complex plots.

Probably because it's a market subreddit, so no one should be dealing with any minors. Making the sub NSFW makes the 18+ consent prompt appear and waives liability (in theory).

I feel like most ADHD diagnoses are just acquired almost as a rite of passage by tired parents who can’t keep up with their own children, usually young boys.
