Reddit is in a difficult position, seemingly being mainly used by people that consider making money to be "selling out." I'm sure they'd prefer a more mature community, but when you embrace youth culture as a way of life you get what you get, and need to lie accordingly.

The distaste for advertising is as old as reddit itself. Reddit has always looked for creative ways to advertise and creative alternatives. You can't blame that only on the community.

  "The distaste for advertising is as old as reddit itself." Rather: The distaste for advertising is as old as the WWW itself.

    I had a severe distaste for adverts on TV before the WWW really took off so it's even older I would say.
