When will the company make money? After two decades, it still can’t say. And there are enough other red flags that investors might want to be wary.

    That’s why I said given where they are now, how would it even be possible. What can they do outside of raise prices of reddit stickers or ad-free reddit.

      Yeah that’s fair.

      Merchandising is the only palatable idea I can think of.

      More likely to happen:

      • Twitter’s verified user subscription strategy

      • More ad posts with paid-priority (priority hidden from users)

      • Layoffs with AI as miracle cure

      • Selling user data for AI training (check)

      • Paid API access (check)

      But it’s really hard to ignore that its function isn’t really designed for profit and it’s wacky that we have to humor the idea.
