I would agree with that, especially for their biggest and most influential subs like /r/news and /r/politics. Reddit's owners have shown they're not above selling out some of these subs to firms like ShareBlue.

I don't think most people know the actual costs to R&D, market, develop, etc of new drugs. They just complain that their new anti-cholesterol or anti-depressant costs $300 (at least before the insurance kicks in). But many consumer

I don't think $1500 is what it now costs to live in the middle of some cool city, but basically that's what it costs to live deep in suburbia in any city with a lot of jobs. It's not just SF or NYC, but pretty much all major
