Reddit displays ads and sponsored stories (which lately have become almost indistinguishable from regular stories).
Reddit Gold probably makes them more than either of the above, but I'm just pontificating here.
SO can probably monetize pretty well with ads - their demographic is much more targetted. I think they also have a paid jobs posting service. Again, just speculating. I don't know the financials of either of these companies.
- shiftpgdn 14y agoSponsored stories? I haven't seen anything about that on reddit.
- jc4p 14y agoThere are per-subreddit (and sometimes general) sponsored stories on the top of each page, separated by the rest of the actual page by a big box. Example: http://i.imgur.com/LvkN5.png http://i.imgur.com/LvkN5.png

Maybe you wanted to say guessing instead? SO can probably monetize pretty well with ads - their demographic is much more targetted. Here you're mildly pontificating when you're telling SO what they should do to monetize their service.
- polshaw 14y agoInterestingly(?) I haven't seen an add on reddit in a long time. And that is without adblock. There used to be Amazon ads fairly regularly a while back, but now all I see are pictures of burgers, adverts for subreddits, flash games and 'thanks for not using ad-block'. I wonder why they haven't ditched it or done something about it. (I totally agree with your suspicion that reddit gold earns them more).
- m0shen 14y agoYou probably have. The links that appear in the top bar of the site are (usually) paid. Not all ads on the site take the form of a square image on the right.
