Hello all,

I hope I don’t incur too much flak for this post, but I have been wondering about how reddit profits from its users. I left reddit mobile along with most everyone else when RIF went down, but since then I’ve still been browsing reddit on desktop with uBlock origin. So they aren’t getting ad revenue from me, but I do occasionally make comments. Aside from the principle of still contributing to reddit when I know I shouldn’t be, is it possible that doing so still earns revenue for reddit?

Thanks friends

    Reddit’s product is the ad sell on their site. People visit the site because of the user generated content. If you’re interacting with other users on Reddit, you’re still contributing to the company’s income.

    I’m assuming they don’t charge advertisers for blocked ads, but you never know.
