It's interesting seeing which opinions of outrage become popular on reddit. Before this it was Saydrah and that outrage was on and off before it turned into a virtual mobbing. I'm curious if a large population of reddit has this opinion, or if it originally cared for this opinion before the above post. Was this opinion bubbling within the threads when the donation request was announced? Of course cultural trends are difficult to measure, so I doubt I'll ever know. Personally, raldi announced this subscriber service when he announced the donation, so I'm those reddit users whose not going against their subscription model at all (however, I am waiting on them to add Amazon payments). Still, when I compare their model to Ars Technica's, this comes to mind: Ars has paid writers while reddit has user contributions, their only service is the forum they have set up and maintained (duh). Good luck with them and I hope they have a subscription model that fairly monetizes their user's contributions without smoking them out. EDIT: May I also add that there's the extra challenge of being under a larger company. It played a factor with Saydrah and its currently playing a factor with above.
