Like 100% of their users are fat!

I noticed in the actual article, not the blogspam that the Y Combinator folks linked to, that double-dick-dude got more views than the President.

Is Reddit still run to be profitable? It always seems like it fits more with a wikipedia type model of donations etc.

Reddit is owned by a billion dollar company, and does not need to be profitable. Especially with all the marketing going through the front page every single day, it's an advertisers paradise. I don't think they're hurting for money.

Contrary to popular belief Reddit is not some grass-roots operations.

Here's a GitHub repository released by Reddit of all the relevant Reddit metrics (uniques, page views, submissions etc.), by month: https://github.com/drunken-economist/reddit-10-year-data

It's been operationally independent since 2011: http://www.redditblog.com/2011/09/independence.html

Right why link to the TC article instead of the blog post? I don't understand it.
