Reddit just passed Facebook as #3 most popular website in US
Reddit works because it’s anonymous, information-dense and relatively ad-free. Change any one of those three and the user base will abandon you.It’s been Reddit’s dilemma since the beginning: you can’t monetize a toxic user base that has total freedom. Sure you can try to drive away the toxic users, but it turns out that those toxic users are also pretty influential in non-toxic aspects.I’m still skeptical of Reddit’s ability to turn a profit. But as a community platform it’s the best out there IMO.
