If the performance weakness continues for a week or two, the agency would start recommending decreasing spend with Reddit or directing it to other platforms.

After the blackout, we will be closely monitoring user behavior on Reddit and guide clients when we can unpause,” said Freddy Dabaghi, managing director at Stagwell-backed Crispin Porter Bogusky, which has asked clients to stop campaigns, depending on their client goals.

I think the internet at its best is when it's ad-free, not harvesting and selling user data, and free to use.

Wikipedia is one of the most successful projects on the internet, and it works exactly like that.

Hypothetically, I wouldn't be opposed to some kind of compensation model. But experience shows that as soon as you introduce a for-profit model, people in charge will eventually ask the question "hey, if this is making money, couldn't we squeeze much more money out of it!?!?"

Oh I'm with you on that. I meant payments more just to pay staff salaries and for servers. Definitely 100% against profiting.
