    The thing that bothered me about that statement was the way he phrased it, that “[reddit will] continue to be profit-driven until profits arrive” - as if the arrival of profits is inevitable and no one needs to do anything to ensure their safe journey.

    So he thought he could just kinda coast along, spending massive amounts of resources on various combinations of reddit community points and reddit NFTs and personalizable snoovatars and RPAN and glitchy video players and cryptocurrency and April Fool’s programs and a shitty app and suddenly deciding to have reddit natively host images and videos that massively increase both storage and transfer requirements and footing the bill for multiple very rich AI companies to suck up all of reddit’s data, and no one would notice or care, because the arrival of profits is inevitable, they’re just a little late …
