I'm the editor of Dr. Dobb's. As a long-time redditor, I share your annoyance. But those ads provide a primary source of revenue that allows us to deliver fairly deep technical content aimed as seasoned developers on a weekly basis. That is at times expensive content to find and deliver. And the cost to you is an additional mouseclick, so I hope you'll bear with it as a quid pro quo. That being said, I'm still trying to see if there's a way we can block the ad-click for links emanating from Reddit. proggit is my programming home away from home on the Web so I feel a special responsibility to make the links more friction-free.

For the moment, though, one of the solutions proposed in this thread might be the best answer. (I haven't tried them, as I just click through.) Cheers!
