Did we watch different videos? The only person who seemed in favour sounded like he was German. One person was worried that you get less mileage in your car with kilometres. Another mentioned that Britain used to rule the world and now it’s “part of a community”, which they said “ain’t right”. Yet another said they fought 10 years in the war (?) to keep things how they are, but now people want to change everything.

All in all, the sentiment was overwhelmingly negative.

“We’ve known for over a decade that people come to Reddit to talk about the products they love – take r/BuyItForLife for example, a community of over 1.5 million redditors who have been sharing recommendations and advice about their lifelong, must-have purchases since 2011. These updates will uplevel the search-and-discover experience for both brands and our users by tapping into our differentiated value as a hub for actionable conversation”

Bit of an extreme strategy though, eh?

TLDR: Nobody wants them, not even the banks. Offered for sale at $25,000 (which is the supposed melt value), but no takers so far.

She should have made him try and then roasted him mercilessly for his pathetic, undescended testes.

Reddit hasn't gone public yet (it's planned for this year) and very likely isn't profitable — we don't know for sure because it hasn't published its financials.
