It's only for the ad revenue. I'm guessing this is a small part of their revenue compared to reddit gold.

  Is reddit gold all that much? I could imagine a surge when it came out, but how about ongoing?

    http://www.reddit.com/gilded http://www.reddit.com/gilded You can see "gilded" comments in real time. Gilded is when one user gives a month of reddit gold to another user (it doesn't include people buying it for themselves). I'd say it's most definitely a success.

    They have a "gold goal" progress meter at the bottom of the homepage sidebar. I assume this is approximately "amount of gold purchases needed to keep us from losing money today" -- it's usually above 80%; yesterday it was 107%.

      So about 2% of their hosting bill...

      That page says, "These numbers only include gifted gold"
