When they said Reddit has 2000 employees I was shocked. what could they possibly do onto a website that is basically run by users (and sysadmins) and that is basically feature-wise mature? I really can’t figure out 2000 people working every day on Reddit… on what? just for a quick comparison, the whole IAmA was run by a single person (Victoria), so… what are they doing?
The official reddit app has 100 million downloads on the play store and there’s basically no press about the regular issues/downtime.
They’re trying to get into the post-IPO mindset, If it’s not affecting adoption or ad revenue, why would they bother to fix it. Who cares what the state of the platform is as long as it’s producing maximum shareholder value.
