The front page of the internet has a lot more money in the bank, with Reddit confirming $50 million in new funding.

I know that most of the people on Reddit jumped ship to Voat, but that place caved under pressure almost immediately. Their voting system is also quite questionable, with the requirements to attain a certain amount of votes before you can vote yourself making it easy for some users to have extra power over the others.
