Aomngst all the dicsussion of reddit's flawed business model, I haven't seen much conjecture into how they _should have done it_. Clearly they need to make money at some point -- I'm curious if they ever had a route to do thi

How? If I said that I think >99% of people have 2 arms, a photo of a one armed man doesn't refute it.
