Are they really profiting at this point? I haven't seen any ads on the sites, and funding shouldn't be considered profit.

#4Reading this reminded me of 9rules[1], which used to be pretty popular some 8-10 years back but eventually withered away. As with most communities, scaling svbtle without comprising on the quality is going to be the greatest challenge.

I don't think there is any profiting going on at the moment, but svbtle wouldn't exist without the great contributor in the network. Because of this it will be interesting to see where Dustin takes things and how he handles the situation. I'm sure a lot of the writers in svbtle wanted to be part of a great group that just wanted to bring great content to the forefront of the web. That changes slightly when money is involved because now some writers will be wondering how much they can make off a post and whether they should write about what is hot or just the random stuff they are used to.

I doubt the funding was set up as a charitable donation, so at some point, they're certainly going to have to figure out some way to make revenue.

#8It's interesting what Dustin is trying, but I find the utter lack of design personality across the sites to be quite off-putting.
It's trying to fix 200+ differently-shaped circles into the exact same square.

#9I don't understand - what possible business model could you have with such niche blogging? Can anybody explain how this is expected to work? Some kind of sponsored advertising on what the blog topic is about?

Presumably at least someone (i.e. the investors) means to turn a profit. Who knows how they'll go about it though.
