Our ads team is developing Dynamic Product Ads, enabling us to match users to specific advertiser products. Our vision is for Reddit’s product ads to be highly relevant and contextual. A user browsing r/golf sees ads for popular golf clubs. A user reading a thread on r/buyitforlife about sunglasses sees ads for the exact models being discussed, just a few clicks away from a purchase. To achieve this vision, we need a highly scalable catalog infrastructure and intuitive user experience to onboard thousands of advertisers and ingest millions of products into our systems.
