minus-squaredhork@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up34·1 year agoLet’s not overdo it, it’s not like Reddit was a pinnacle of moral virtue before the Mod changes.
minus-squarebassomitron@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up24·1 year agoThey were doing mostly okay before with premium and donations. It’s just that they want even more money.

minus-squaretheneverfox@pawb.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 year agoYeah, they could’ve been profitable a long time ago if they grew the staff slowly and kept their head down But they wouldn’t be Facebook level profitable. Their investors don’t care much about them being profitable, they want 100x or bust
