#22Here'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
From this data, you can see that reddit is stil highly dependent on the US market. The international part must be the other English speaking countries I suppose. There is still some huge work to do to have a better international coverage. (and also a good potential for further growth).

I constantly wonder about this....and I was willing to pay them for an account -- which they they axed and made it free for all. How can that be sustainable, how?!
You are the product.
I use it purely for image hosting/no ads/no public gallery. It's amaaaazing haha

#24all that matters in reddit history to me is the turning point when Digg botched their v4 design execution and caused a huge exodus to Reddit, who was struggling at the time. Changed everything
Snafu'd = situation normal all fucked up. Not sure this makes sense in context. They fucked up I concur but I don't think snafu fits the situation.
heh yeah ok sorry - changed to 'botched design execution'

> Reddit is owned by a billion dollar company, and does not need to be profitable. Tell that to Myspace. A property as expensive as reddit has to have a clear road to profitability or it's going to get the axe. Conde Nast isn't running a charity.
Conde Nast isn't running anything. IIRC, Reddit split off from them some time ago.
How many board seats do they still have?

This is totally incorrect, BTW. Our traffic was already double Digg's at that point. Their v4 failure caused a noticeable but small bump in traffic.

#28Is Reddit still run to be profitable? It always seems like it fits more with a wikipedia type model of donations etc.
I'm more interested in how imgur survives since they serve up far more bandwidth that reddit does and their own advertising and community efforts are pretty young relatively, not to mention hotlinks bypass that entirely.
another interesting fact is that reddit just last week released api functionality to access reddits cache of all thumbnails and native resolution of post images on their own infrastructure.
Of course they've must have cached thumbnails before but this seems like a giant expansion that must consume rather much resources... or maybe they did this before and just didn't expose the functionality, but it seems tied to their new mobile webpage

How did Obama's AMA impact the site's traffic? Aside from that AMA completely bringing the site down, it seemed to result in a longer term increase in users.

I'm not sure, I'd already left reddit by then. We tried to get him to do an AMA in 2008 but he wasn't interested. :)
