It makes sense, need to monetize and appeal to the average internet user, but it bums me out there isn't a great replacement as of now.

It's a sort of hybrid between Twitter, Reddit, and Slack aimed at open, frictionless discussion using real time messaging instead of comments.
It works on mobile and desktop web, and while still early and in active development, I definitely appreciate feedback!

I think the app works great. And the conversations are usually pretty good too as long as each side is willing to be civil. Particularly in my local city/community subs. For example, my local city sub is like NextDoor only without the nut jobs and constant "my Pitbull got loose in the park again" posts.

#456 billion dollars seems cheap is my original thought but really it seems like a good amount. Reddit can't really expand a significant amount more(as evidenced by their moves into video) and the monetization is terrible(who wants to buy Reddit premium, or advertise on Reddit?)

#48At some point, free Reddit is going to have to start to suck in order to make money. If they make premium Reddit simply behave the way that current free Reddit does and abandon the silly "awards-based" revenue model, I think they might stand a chance to turn a profit.
What do you mean start?

#49Seems quite expensive. Reddit doesn't make substantial revenues, so I'm not sure what investors will gain with yet another funding round.
