Niche Reddit-style sites with Slinkset? Thoughts?

[From slinkset help] "Right now everything is free and you can insert your own ads in the sidebar. Down the road we'll be charging for stuff, but we're still working out exactly what and how. For existing sites, it's very unlikely that we'll insert ads or start charging w/o warning."

I find this problematic. Charging for such service is fine, but I need to know the price before I'll devote my time and energy into building a new site under it. I think it would be better to work that out first and then give an exact offer. Other than that, it looks interesting.

I can see the issue you're raising but to be honest providing slinkset don't upset their users there won't be a problem. If the worst comes to the worst, we'd migrate to hosting our own implementation, but chances are we'd pay for slinkset to host it providing it wasn't too expensive or we had sufficient return from the site.
