Take reddit non-profit and have pledge drives a la wikipedia. Reddit is useful enough to be considered a common good/ public property.
Exactly. Why be "evil" when you have a community that would be very willing to support you on pure ideals.

Well, if I were Conde Nast, I might have an issue with just making it non-profit after spending a bunch to acquire it. Lotta people loosing jobs in the media space, and it would be difficult to convince me that a site with 280 million page views should just be written off. There's got to be a way to balance community needs with revenue generation.

#13I read somewhere that sites like Gawker look to Reddit for 'cool' story-leads. I amy be over-reaching but Reddit can do syndication dwals/partnerships with Media compnaies for Daily 'Best of Reddit' placements.
Also, what happened to Reddit TV?

That's an interesting idea... Yahoo, AOL, and Demand Media would likely be interested in getting real-time data from Reddit, and being a data provider is a better business than providing commoditized advertising solutions.
