>The company says funding will go toward building out community and advertising efforts and increasing headcount. "Increasing headcount" by alienating the older userbase, and "advertising efforts" by making the advertisement more and more obnoxious, and less distinct from actual content? >more empowering for communities Correction: more empowering for a small set of "powermods". The moderators of smaller communities may eat dirt, for all Reddit cares. (Or be victims of constant harassment, even if the case Aimée Challenor shows that Reddit does have the technology to prevent it.) And, given who pays the dinner chooses the dish, who will fund Reddit is also a concern. I do not think, for example, that instances of criticism against the Chinese government being labelled "racism against Asians" is just the product of the local morons, but the product of the local morons being led by Reddit Inc. It makes sense when you remember TenCent invested on the place.
