I will never donate.
- ctbarna 16y agowhy not? (not judging, just wondering)
- davidw 16y agoConde Naste is a huge corporation, and if they want to let their purchase go down the toilet... well, I'm sorry, but I won't be picking up their slack.
- avar 16y agoI wouldn't donate either for those reasons, but one thing to keep in mind is that the codebase running reddit is open source: http://github.com/reddit/reddit http://github.com/reddit/reddit They pushed to the public Git in a month, but the donations users are making will go towards improving that codebase. It can be used to deploy your own (and hopefully more scalable) version of reddit.
- timdorr 16y agoBut what if the semantics change and it's called "Subscribing"? Does that affect your assessment? I think a lot of folks are treating this as a donation (which is a side-effect of them using PayPal for this) and that's tainting their perception of what this is all about.
- b-e-p 16y agoI would not subscribe either. Reddit can easily make enough money from these 280m pageviews a month without resorting to these measures.
- code_duck 16y agoWow - you're awesome. Fly that flag!
