The key part here is that (at least initially…) they won’t put any existing subreddits behind a paywall. So users’ habits won’t really be interrupted.

If you’re not putting your money into index funds you’re just fooling yourselves. You shouldn’t be paying any form of investor to pretend they can see into the future.

This also means you will be investing heavily in the US. But don’t make the mistake of believing your invested money makes any difference in the world when it comes to ethical responsibility. A company isn’t affected by whether a fund invests or does not invest in them.
