Use a libreddit mirror like https://reddit.adminforge.de to link to Reddit threads so that Reddit gets 0 traffic and 0 ad revenue from us opening the thread.
For example, if the Reddit link is:
https://old.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/14clza9/i_present_to_you_john_blobiver/
Then you simply have to replace old.reddit.com by reddit.adminforge.de so that the link becomes:
https://reddit.adminforge.de/r/aww/comments/14clza9/i_present_to_you_john_blobiver/
I don’t know anything about this particular site, but typically these kinda sites operate on a cached version that is requested just once. So reddit would get a single view no matter how many views your link gets.
For sites like Google’s cache or archive.org, they often were gonna cache the site no matter what.
the link in this post (which is 2h old) has comments, some of them younger than 30 minutes, so no, i don’t think so…
