Ohanian, who is no longer directly involved in managing Reddit on a daily basis, actually teased in his blog post's title that he would respond using only LOLcats (for which Huh's Cheezburger Network is famous), but he didn't make good on that promise. Instead, he explained how Reddit's ads are restricted to preserve a clean user experience, and how that poses "a difficult monetization problem that hasn't yet been solved."
You might remember that Reddit called on its users to contribute money in exchange for "gold" memberships when the site struggled to meet the revenue goals set by Condé Nast. Huh offered to give Reddit "more resources and less corporate interference" than Condé Nast.
As open as Ohanian seemed to Huh's wooing, he wasn't optimistic about the possibility of Reddit switching hands. "Team reddit needs help, but I wouldn't expect anyone to call you, Ben," he blogged. "In fact, I'd be very surprised if reddit were sold."
Despite his concerns, Ohanian suggested a dialogue between Huh and Reddit's caretakers: "Considering all that you've done with the Cheezburger empire, Ben, I think it's at least worth dropping a note to Chris Slowe & the team to chat over some... uh... cheeseburgers?"
Chances are nothing would come of such a meeting — apparently Huh has already made offers privately with no luck — but Ohanian seems to agree that Reddit isn't quite at home with Condé Nast.
