“I would like subreddits to be able to be businesses if they choose,” he said, adding that’s “another conversation, but I think that’s the next frontier of Reddit.”

How ominous. This was an interview excerpt, so I have no way of verifiably knowing what Huffman looked like as he said this... but I'm fairly confident that he must have been rubbing his hands together and salivating as his pupils slowly morphed into dollar signs.

It definitely involved him putting a pinky to the corner of his mouth.

Why on earth would he say that now?

Does he think the promise of more oppressive monetization is going to calm everyone down?
