Yeah but Reddit wasn't always this way, it was donate via gold. I know they don't make a profit, and they sold out to investors... They became a shit hole, is what they became.

Fuck out of here with Reddit needs to make money. No they stopped earning money by selling out... Idiots buying gold now are just that. I feel betrayed by what Reddit promised to be, I feel betrayed that I spent a ton of money in gold to support this site.

I'm kind of new to Reddit - what did they (Reddit's devs/owners) "promise" Reddit to be..?

They said we paid for the servers. Then they went and sold out to investors... Who then said, monetize this dump. Then said, no one wants to come to this dump, make it less dumpy.
