>> no redditor expects to see a dime when they participate on the site and the site makes money form it.

> Plenty of Redditors would disagree with you, and I'm not sure why you're acting like this is obvious. If I hadn't already deleted all my content and left because of the last debacle, I would be doing so for this.

Really?

Ok, let's say reddit only sold adds for revenue.

What percentage of redditors do you think would feel justified to a percentage of reddit's ad revenue? Because the only reason the ads have value is because of the redditors themselves?

The only similarity there is revenue.

Ads are for consumption by Reddit users, and is an expected, if not liked, mechanism. That you can pay to opt out of.

People wrote content that they expected to be content on Reddit. Not to be later able to pick up a book (after buying it) and read their own words, that Reddit sold and made additional money off of (because they're still doing the ads, of course).

Appreciate the response, its clear you've given it a bit of though.

I guess we simply disagree. Given that there is no right or wrong and only opinions, then I guess we're at the end of the line.
