I'm not doubting you but can you please tell me how you know this? Also, is there a canonical source of info about reddit's finances and BoD details? The only info I seem to find is in random reddit and HN comments with no links to back it up.
What I'm most interested in is whether reddit has finally managed to get in the black and who's on the board.
I agree it's probably not worth spending much time on for most sites but I just get annoyed when the page is completely blank. It takes very little effort to stick a <noscript> tag on the landing page that contains a few paragraphs explaining what the site does and what services it offers. That at least gives me some information that I can use to decide whether or not I want to trust the site by allowing script execution.
I like the idea and aim of the site but was it really necessary to make it completely unviewable without JavaScript? What ever happened to progressive enhancement?
