I mean, I did too. But you can see why Reddit is grouchy about that. I mean, I have written a lot of content and posted it to Reddit, and maybe that has value that they can monetize. Or maybe there's some value that they can get from data-mining my activity on the server side. But they haven't been making money off my eyeballs directly, or data-mining information available on the client side, and I imagine that that's frustrating when they go crunch the numbers on their costs and revenue.
