How is reddit making money?

not an arc-question but they were funded by ycombinator and people here seem very knowledgable.

they have like one ad ont he right and its not really an ad always.

they cant receive money from the clicked links because the links are not put there by the owners.

  There’s absolutely no advertising on reddit. Why and what would it take for us to begin seeing ads on reddit?

  AO: There’s absolutely no advertising on our front page, but our comments pages do have Federated Media ads. We heart FM.

Well, the no ads on the frontpage is no longer true, but I guess that one well-placed ad is better than a bunch of annoying floats / popover banners. Reddit has been making a profit for a while now.
