> My point is, I don't think a lot of you are being totally honest when you say you'd be willing to pay if the site removed advertising.
This is quite an extreme conclusion to draw, as you seem to be overlooking one very large assumption: value.
If I say "I'd be willing to pay if a site removed advertising", that statement is still contingent on that payment providing me with value in return. I do pay for many sites and services on the internet. Reddit is not one of them. It's not a bad site, but for me, it's largely served as a distraction and hasn't really offered me anything I consider worthwhile enough to pay for. This does not equate to me being dishonest because implicit in that is your (incorrect) assumption that Reddit offers every visitor significant value.
