Ever heard of public TV?

Yea, this is basically the same situation.

We as users have been given a choice as to what direction we want the site to head…

Clueless people such as yourself keep bringing up the fact that Reddit is owned by CN, as if that’s supposed to mean something….

Reddit is still a relatively self contained entity….a LARGE and EXPENSIVE.

They could not do the whole Gold thing, but then they would HAVE to basically ruin the site with ads and such.

I don’t see what the BFD is you whiny douchebag….seriously. Almost every club has a champagne room….every car-wash has the deluxe package…

If you’re such a cheap little pussy then just get the economy package…jesus christ shut up, I’m sick of this crap.

You don’t wanna pay? Hey that’s fine…seriously….you get THE SAME THING you’ve been getting FOR FREE.

…and don’t try to give some shitty slippery slope argument because it’s just not valid in this situation. For one, there’s no reason to expect it…and for two that’s only valid in situations with alternatives….

…here we are talking about only two possible outcomes:

-maybe theoretically possibly, but probably not ruining the site with Gold

-DEFINITELY ruining it without gold

IF you don’t want Gold, hey…don’t buy it. In your case you it’d probably be a good idea as you clearly need the money to buy a clue.

And I wouldn’t worry about the ‘infiltrating’ part. It’s not going to be anything nearly as subtle. A VP will be tasked with the site he will tell the guys that make Reddit to shut the fuck up and get with the program or to get lost.

Then all the shit you mentioned will come to pass and it will indeed be game over.

Now that the Reddit Gold service is implemented I’ve already clicked a link that was only accessible to Gold members. It’s all downhill from here.

Conan’s getting a knife in the back along with his severance package.

NBC and Leno would have you think Conan’s to blame as it benefits them to make Conan the bad guy. Take away the man’s show and now try to take his legacy!

Don’t let NBC and Leno write history! Check out the following link to read of Leno’s deceit:
