Time for a new type of social. That FB users do not move for something less slik-polished-and-widely-used is understandible. But I believe a large part of the reddittors is more keen on privacy, openness, ad-free experience, uncensoredness, etc.
I like this one:

- kevinali1 7y agoI think quality of the conversation will always trump "privacy, openness and ad-free". We have to pay for quality. If we're not going to pay with dollar bills, we pay with privacy.

- WhompingWindows 7y agoBut if you pay with ads, don't you need to see a LOT of ads, unless your privacy is compromised and they use trackers about you to give you targeted (i.e. more lucrative) ads?
- cies 7y agoI'm not sure what it costs to have a service running and what non-tracking adds may yield nowadays. So: not sure.
- Karunamon 7y agoI don't see why topic-based ads based entirely on on-site participation would be a problem. No need for any user-hostile garbage, bucket your communities into topics, and let advertisers target the topics or the intersections between them. Ads are sold on-site, not via third party networks. Reddit does this, but no idea how successful it is.
