Reddit is a marketeers dream. Every corporation, product, game, movie studio and consumer device has a big team dedicated to using Reddit for free. Submissions memes and comments are posted by the teams, often out in the open. Reddit gets no income from this advertising.
If Reddit were to start looking at charging for these, the platform might change drastically. I'm not sure how, however.
