- blhack 15y agoI think that the problem there was posterous didn't communicate this to their users. Reddit does a fantastic job of communicating with the users; if they explained what was happening, I think the users would be fine with it.
- code_duck 15y agoI agree, I especially think that Redditors would be happy to support Reddit in a way that leaves them with the same amount of money, Amazon with less and Reddit with more.
- jackowayed 15y agoIf they announce it and add a setting to disable it, I doubt their users would complain. Seems like a really good idea
