Government regulated Reddit, haha that would be funny. But I don't think it would catch on very well, given how people feel about censorship in general.
Considering the pressure Reddit puts on it's users to download it's buggy app when browsing it's mobile site, it wouldn't surprise me the pressure they receive from investors in general.
4chan I'm pretty sure lives off donations and it shows, badly. HN is carefree being owned by a startup accelerator.
So I get what you're saying where these sites aren't very self sustaining, and ad revenue isn't very viable in todays age.
- ddingus 5y agoIt would either be funny, or kind of awesome, depending on how it's made and who runs it. A Reddit ran with the seriousness of the Post Office, immune from Congress in most regards, bolstered with the First Amendment, could be quite a thing. An essential public utility, broadly trusted. One ran the way most things are today? Yeah, laughable. Anyhoo, yeah. The AD model has major issues.
