The family who own Reddit are trying to sell the (somehow) unprofitable fucker; if Comcast etc. can charge more for faster access to Reddit it'll damage their payout, so net neutrality is suddenly double-super important.
I don't get how a text website built on unpaid contributors, administered by unpaid contributors, that is never ever updated but sells ads can somehow be unprofitable, but here we are.
Seriously, imagine a business in which everybody works for free, and you don't have to buy inventory or rent space; you just have a computer put ads on the webpages & the customers donate money to you.
Now, drag enough money out of it that it is unprofitable. Really fuck it hard; no, harder.
