NEW YORK, Feb 7 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Social media platform Reddit, which helps its users “dive into anything,” may finally plunge into the public markets. The 19-year-old company made over $800 million in sales last year, at least 20% more than in 2022, according to Bloomberg. But a dearth of profit this late into its existence portends the lack of a real business model, suggesting it’s still not ready for public company life.

    Counterpoint put the original link in the body, so people by default can visit the more permanent and paywall free article.

    I click the link before I go into the topic to read the body/comments. This way makes sure shit sites don’t get views.

      Well yes, but you can do that with the link in the body as well.

      Original link in the main spot means you can see the preview. Archive link in the main spot means no previews or other details

      You can get the benefits of both by putting the original link in the main spot and the archive link at the very top of the body. I also think that people are more likely to engage with a post when there’s a preview image, over a little link icon
