The value for users is that Reddit exists. I hate ads as much as the next person, but you can’t expect a great website that’s unprofitable to be around forever.

The value for users is that Reddit exists. I hate ads as much as the next person, but you can’t expect a great website that’s unprofitable to be around forever. Eventually it’s going to shut down or change. Reddit has one of the best awards and paid tier plans in the world for a discussion board, yet they still couldn’t break even with it. You might love things that are free, but don’t expect them to last forever then. Nothing is free.

> The value for users is that Reddit exists. Reddit as we knew it is on life support. We see them phasing out third party apps, they already removed np.reddit.com, and undoubtedly old.reddit.com will be next. Once they go public there is no turning back, and their decisions will be solely powered by investor greed. There is no value in a Reddit that doesn’t cater to the users.
