If you're gonna use both for now, I would recommend downloading an ad blocker. AdGuard and ublock origin (the word origin is important, there is a knockoff called ublock) are both good. It was greed that motivated Reddit to pull this shit, might as well deny them ad revenue.

I never knew it was a knockoff! I always thought it was just an inferior version but still them! TIL about people stealing the name of a free ad blocker (presumably) for profit ๐Ÿคฆ

There's a bit more history to it than that. The developer of uBlock wanted to walk away from the project and found some people to manage it instead. The first thing they did was strip out the developer's name and start appeals for donations (note they haven't actually done anything productive yet). This pissed off the original developer so much he came back but had to rename his version to 'uBlock Origin'.

Do these actually work for Reddits android app? I've tried a few blockers over the years including adguard and I don't think any have stopped these ads because they're coming from Reddit like a normal post

I was looking into patching the reddit app with revamped manager. That might be able to help you. I decided to just leave reddit entirely.
