Hello all,

I hope I don’t incur too much flak for this post, but I have been wondering about how reddit profits from its users. I left reddit mobile along with most everyone else when RIF went down, but since then I’ve still been browsing reddit on desktop with uBlock origin. So they aren’t getting ad revenue from me, but I do occasionally make comments. Aside from the principle of still contributing to reddit when I know I shouldn’t be, is it possible that doing so still earns revenue for reddit?

Thanks friends

    I recommend using reddit without an account, since account provides more trackable data for Reddit. To get around subscriptions use a multisubreddit link on reddit, and on mobile use something like Stealth that lets you have a reddit feed without an account or RSS.

    Don’t provide content. Most of reddit’s value is from search results, and the more niche and obscure a sub the more reddit comes up in the top search results for those topics. People really underestimated how much value niche subs provide and continued to be involved with the community telling themselves they are too small to matter.

    But, it’s the niche ones that are the hardest to replace than the popular ones.
