      There’s nothing wrong with Reddit trying to be profitable. It should be profitable.

      Apollo and Reddit Is Fun even had large subscriber bases willing to pay up to support our usage.

      Reddit leadership is just really shitty. That is just the reality. Even if they wanted to be profitable, Spez simply doesn’t know how to get there.
