The reality is that unless you have immense, immense scale (i.e., Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn), making money off social media is impossible. Twitter barely made any money before Elon Musk took it over, and it’s making less now.
Reddit is pseudo-anonymous too and is harder to monetize, because high ad rates come from being able to identify your users.
Where do you get the idea reddit is not as big as Instagram? It has just as much traffic as wikipedia and Amazon in the U.S.
Elron was correct that Twitter had more employees than they really need. It’s unclear what thousands and thousands of people do at these companies. Twitter was surely large enough that they could have been profitable, though. What he did to slash employees - I’m sure that helps. Not paying rent? Not sure. Driving away 65% of their ad business? Probably not a great idea.
Another problem for Reddit and Twitter is that they allow a content that advertisers don’t want to appear next to, such as porn or freakout-fighting videos.
