Seriously, what is your plan for monetizing Reddit?

At some point (Pao made it seem like it's months from now) the VC funding will run out.

The money made from Gold and from ads simply is not enough to keep up a site of this size.

Is the plan to monetize AMAs? Perhaps have sponsored posts on the front page? There has to be some plan to keep this site going, just give us some type of hint so we won't be blindsided like we have been with every other change in the past.

I know you have given it thought and you really did not address my question. What is YOUR plan for monetizing Reddit?

Sam,

You still aren't really addressing the question.

First of all, no future investors will be interested in a +/- break even company.

Second of all, by commerce do you mean Secret Santa? A revolutionary idea that was the brain child of /u/kickme444 . . . who you guys gave the Victoria treatment?

Information is free. Music is not (legally). That's why I pay for Spotify.
