    Technically speaking, that data has some cost; just that Reddit’s actual cost to serve that data is far lower than what they’re trying to charge Third Parties.

      It also has the opportinity cost of the viewer not getting first party ads or giving tracking data. Even with these things, though, it’s still nowhere near what they’re charging.

      Also, fuck ads and tracking data.

        As I’ve said before, unrealized capital is not a cost.

        Unless you run a shitty business.
