The difference between Hacker News and Everyblock is that Everyblock needs to pay six salaries. (I know they have a parent company with cash now, but does reddit even cover its own hosting and salaries? I honestly don't know.)

Don't get me wrong, I know most of them in one way or another, and wish them the best ... but like I said, it isn't exactly like Hacker News or reddit in the 'survive for the fun / publicity of it' sense.
