Ah, the freemium model. Many sites tried it, among them Reddit. It seems to be very hard to finance a social aggregation website that way - it not impossible to earn some money that way, like Reddit does with it's 'gold' buying / giving, but it does not bring in enough money to subsidize an entire server farm.
