Careful, they didn't claim to be getting 28% engagement from users... Just that this ad format performs 28% better than other ad types. We have no idea (from this article, at least) what the comparison actually means in real world usage.

    In early testing of the new format, Reddit found that free-form ads outperform all other ad types in average click through rate (CTR) by 28%, along with increased community engagement when comments are enabled.

    Ah, you are right, I misread that sentence as the CTR being 28%!
