reddit

That's exactly what reddit did with reddit gold.

Of course if people are looking for entertainment then that's a different story and reddit may be serious competition.

So how does Reddit manage to have ad-less subscriptions and yet still restrain themselves from creating obtrusive interstitial ads?

This site was made after reddit, so I guess some of the design decisions were to copy the good things of reddit but not the bad things.

It would be cool to see this applied to other websites like Reddit and HN.

After the n-th drama stemming from the fact that Reddit as company is basically shit.

Most of the time I think the time I spend browsing reddit is not well spent anymore.

I imagine there's a fear that allowing humour will lead to this place being like Reddit (ie.

You'd hope that the content produced by newspapers would rise above the level of reddit leading to people wanting to pay for the content directly.

I'm still trying to figure out how to best use my idle time instead of obsessively commenting on HN or Reddit or playing Counterstrike.

We're sort of like Reddit for corporate intranets.

The problem is, content produced on Reddit (and HN) is way better than content produced by newspapers, by a very simple mechanism: someone posts an article to Reddit/HN, people start debunking all the bullshit, misinterpretations and lies journalists wrote in that article.

The sum total of my "trying to find a job" was making a profile on StackOverflow Careers and answering a Reddit ad.

We understand consumer scale and data (Reddit co-founder & engineers) and aspire to build products that customers love.

Reddit and HN are much more valuable to me than Google Reader ever was.

This is personally why I try and avoid Reddit, trying to follow a conversation is frustrating when every 3rd post is a witty comment with no substance but the pun.
