What does this agent skill do?
Paid Ads: Reddit Ads
Guides Reddit Ads setup, subreddit targeting, and creative best practices. Reddit excels at niche communities and discussion-driven audiences; use when your audience is active in specific subreddits and values authentic, value-first messaging.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
Why Reddit
- High engagement: ~34 min/session; users seek solutions, not passive scroll
- Lower competition: vs Facebook/Instagram for niche audiences
- 100K+ subreddits: Precise community targeting

Ad Formats
| Format | Use |
|---|---|

| Video Ads | Autoplay; captions supported |

Targeting
