500 Startups and YC's investments in 9gag were puzzling to me until Paul explained their plan and their traction to me. They're compelling. Don't blame the founders for the actions of the community, largely in the past: 9gag has a future.

Reddit was bought before it reached the heights it currently inhabits, but 9gag has a chance as a pre-exit company to inhabit a similar space for a different demo internationally as well as move into some pretty interesting verticals.
