But like… Why not have those 2000 employees generate some actual reasonable value if you’re paying them anyway. Reddit externally seems like a business with 200 poorly organised employees. How were they squandering that manpower so spectacularly? Were they doing it on purpose somehow? Like a military unit firing endless rounds at nothing at the end of the year to make sure they don’t get their allocation cut for next year?
Oh, I’m sure they were all doing stuff. It just wasn’t necessarily stuff that’s easy to monetize.
There’s a reason Reddit’s reliability has shot up over the past decade despite ever increasing popularity. Plus there’s all the dumb shit they added like the bullshit awards.
