    Research and development, at $438.3 million

    What in the fuck has Reddit developed in the last year that cost half a billion fucking dollars?

      Hey, it’s not easy to make a shitty new redesign of a site. That stuff costs money.

      An ugly new logo, continued development on world’s shittiest mobile app, and a terrible brand new UI for the website (not to be confused with the previous terrible new UI)

      Oh yeah, they also did some NFT bullshit, almost forgot about that one.

      I haven’t seen that “you broke reddit” message in a while. Maybe they bought more servers?

        The two options to fix that are either buy more servers or make enough idiotic decisions to drive your user base away that traffic is no longer an issue anymore.

        I wonder which one reddit opted for?
