Reddit gold, the new Reddit platinum and bronze, they already show ads, redesign shows ads much more prominently. Literally dozens of ad trackers when you load their site.

Reddit is just as much of a profit driven company as Facebook or Twitter, I’m not sure why you’d think otherwise.

Because, among other things, they don't show annoying ad formats and don't demand real names and phone numbers from their users.

We'll see. Meanwhile, the old design is still available and not burdened with lots of trackers.
