"Oh hi Mr. VC, could I interest you in funding a website that specializes in hating fat people?"

  Historically it's been very difficult to make social media sites profitable. Did Digg ever make a profit? To my knowledge Reddit is still in the red. There has also been a large rhythmic trend of migrations especially in social. So it's very possible people are ready to move on to Voat, the question is will Voat find a way to make a profit? They've mentioned exploring some interesting profit models, such as paid subscriptions and content sharing. I'd really like to see them make a big push with a reddit gold similar component but in a better way. Essentially patronage for social media or content curation.
