I feel like reddit could serve better ads than Facebook if they tried. Sure Facebook knows what college I went to and who my uncle is. Reddit knows my hobbies and interests.

The fact that I subscribe to r/woodworking, r/diy, etc, is really useful for targeting but I never see relevant ads.

I’ve literally given Reddit a big list of my interests and the asked to be served content, and the ads are almost completely unrelated.

You nailed it, Reddit ads feel very amateur, close to weekend projects. And I don't know why they complain about third party apps, they never allowed them to display said low quality ads anyways in the first place...
