Look at their site, 2 total ads on the main page, one per comment page.
They could bump that to 5 per page without breaking a sweat. There's their revenue.
- vaksel 16y agowouldn't even have to do that, right now their ads suck...they are either "hey pay us $20-$30 to advertise on reddit", thanks for not using adblock, buying some reddit schwag, yay reddit, and once in a while you see Amazon or some anime shows ads. that's it...why can't they go to Honda and get them to pay them money to promote buying a Civic? or Coca Cola? etc etc/

- axod 16y agoBecause the Reddit userbase they have cultivated is (IMHO) not a good one to advertise to. The userbase is anti-consumerist. They HATE things like Coca-Cola. They hate TV. They detest adverts etc etc etc
