This is a meme that uses the popular Lisa Simpson presentation template from the animated TV show *The Simpsons*. The text on the presentation screen makes a logical observation: because Reddit hides native advertisements by disguising them to look just like regular user posts, these ads should be required to allow user comments just like normal posts are. The implicit post title 'Do it you cowards' challenges Reddit to implement this change, poking fun at the fact that Reddit would likely avoid this because comments on ads would be full of user criticism.
