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 is nothing without its, users, communities and content. They might not make any money out of you (if we ignore them training AIs or selling your data), but by posting and commenting you’re part of the reason why people whom they directly profit from keep using the site.
