> I guess you haven't heard that folks don't like ads?

Nope they don't and Reddit hasn't really been heavily focused on ads. But they do have a large user base, very focused topics etc etc.

So setting up say a /r/games_of_thrones page, if I was HBO could be very lucrative or marketing my products to the subscribers.

Reddit has somewhere north of 200 million users, that is a large audience to ignore. So yes FB maybe king but Reddit has its place.

A valuation of $10 a user I would stay is quite low.
