The Reddit rebellion and the challenge of commercializing communities

Just charge $1/year. Seems like you could easily run reddit on $150,000,000. You could even do a free/premium model. Free users get ads and limited number of down votes and comments per day. Paid users get no ads and unlimited comments and down votes per day.

&quot;I suspect it will be possible to create a large business with a collective identity community but it will require an unprecedented level of host-community interchange.&quot;<p>TL;DR You can&#x27;t monetize a democracy-driven online community, but could support it with a coop model.
