Reddit's content and success is based on its user base.

If it turns into a Facebook type place with gratuitious advertising, data mining, and privacy concerns it will be short lived revenue in my opinion.

The fun people that create the content and culture will migrate away to other sites, and Reddit will be left with the Facebook meme crowd.

Just my thoughts.

Look at r/all. This is already the set-up at reddit.

Yeah but it's still not even remotely as bad as the content horror that is Facebook.
