WE HAD A GOOD THING YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH!
We had 3PA’s, we had all the free labor in the world, just from passionate people who wanted to share the things they love, we had bots to fight spam, and extremely talented developers who made your stupid website work on mobile. It all ran like clockwork, if you could have just shut your mouth we’d all be fine right now.
But no, you just had to blow it up. YOU, AND YOUR GREED AND YOUR EGO.
Edit: grammar
At some point last year they had 1400 employees. One thousand fucking four hundred.
For a link aggregation site.

It was 2000 when they just let go of 5% of them.
Holly shit!!! That is a lot! How were they even able to have so many ppl? I thought they were max 50 maybe even only 20 lol
Reddit is one of the most trafficked website on the internet. Their infrastructure department alone is likely hundreds of people. Their non-infrastructure developers is probably also in the hundreds. Technology operations another few dozen. Security/cyber another few dozen. General technology staff probably makes up well over half of their payroll. Then consider HR, legal, regulatory-related positions, facilities, etc. it can add up quickly.
