I think the advertising it can do is a perfectly reasonable way to monetize..
Their problem is they want to be some major player and not a "right sized" organization.. They want to go public and try to be billionaires and be like elon or zuck, but it's just not going to be that.
So in their quest for GREED they'll destroy the very thing that can make them absolute massive amounts of money. It's crazy how many mega corps have fallen to the same fate.
They should welcome 3rd parties and any other means to see reddit and monetize the advertising.. Hell they could even try to work streaming deals with NFL and NBA and whatever.. Cowboys games live threads alone have caused the entire reddit website to collapse lol.
SOOO much monetization possibilities in that. And it's charging billion dollar organizations.. not the people that use the service..
