Huffman said, however, that he’d like some form of revenue-sharing.
“I would like subreddits to be able to be businesses if they choose,” he said, adding that’s “another conversation, but I think that’s the next frontier of Reddit.”
That’s….not a good sign.
Edit: If anyone remembers the r/skincareaddiction debacle, I don’t think that’s a future Reddit should be encouraging. -

I guarantee it means the world to them.
@smores, one thing I’d like to add is to make sure you’re taking care of yourself (which it sounds like you are) and putting your “oxygen mask” on before you put it on others. Unfortunately, it sounds like your friends partner is not prioritizing their own care and may be dealing with Caretaker Burnout. My recommendation would be to try and give your friend’s partner a relaxation or self-care day. Make sure they have people to talk to about their day-to-day life other than their partner and that they have hobbies and a life outside of work or caretaking — or, well, try your best to encourage those things.
I’d also like to add a word of caution about ketamine, shrooms, and psychedelics. Some of them don’t mix well with meds your friend might be on. And studies on their efficacy are done in regulated environments (not just by themselves at home). Lots of people like to act like they’re a silver bullet (and maybe they are for some) but there’s no guarantee.
Best of luck to you and your friend.
Remember to Vote!
It’s Primary Day in New York State and New York City for many local offices.
Several other elections in states such as California and Colorado are also occurring today.
I know for a fact the linked site is not a comprehensive list of today’s elections. For instance, basically every county in New York State has some primary occurring today! If you’re unsure if you can vote in a Primary Election today check your local media.
And if anybody has a more complete list please let me (and anyone you know eligible to vote) know.
