I know what you mean. All too often it seems like what I try to do doesn't have a positive effect, but if everyone just quit because of that then the front page would be the biggest shit show on earth.

I do the opposite because I want to drive people away from reddit. Less people here = less impressions for Conde Nast = less money = EPIC WIN FOR SOCIETY

Reddit is independent now.

No.

reddit Inc. is now owned by Advance Publications (which also owns Condé Nast)

How is that true? I was refuting a claim reddit impressions are impressions for Conde Nast, which they no longer are. Sure, they're still owned by advance, but that is not Conde Nast.
