I was expecting this to be thin but not that thin.

They list three pillars for financial. 1) Ads - which they've already done so priced in 2) Data - like the google deal they announced today with google for 60m. 3) User economy that includes "Commerce ecosystem" and brace yourself:

>Reddit Avatars as non-fungible tokens on the blockchain;

That really looks like an all-or-nothing bet on their dataset being valuable for AI and multiple recurring deals like google's resulting. It's certainly big & of reasonable quality, but at a minimum you'd need a way to neutralize the fact that most reddit interactions are antagonistic - users arguing & correcting each other...not necessarily traits you want a bot to learn
