Reddit is incredibly scattered. It is hard to know where to post a thing you find interesting. Historically, there was no general "I find this interesting" place to post it. If you posted it to the wrong sub Reddit, it wouldn't go anywhere at all and might get deleted. There was no real means to share stuff "with friends" just because you liked it. It needed to be on topic for the sub Reddit in question. Each sub Reddit has different moderators.

This has its good points and bad points. I have been enjoying certain aspect of it, but this is probably a barrier to certain things as well. Monetization may be one of those things.

They very recently introduced enhanced profile options for users. This is in beta testing. This is a means to post something somewhere that you find interesting and have no clue where it belongs on the site. It also has a means to give a person more of an identity on the site than what was previously available. I see it as a significant and positive change that probably won't undermine some of the positive aspects of having a bunch of different sub Reddits.

I will suggest you check back in a year or two and see if valuations/monetization has changed any. I feel like the profile options currently in beta testing are probably game changing in a good way for the site.
