Both are probably true. Some more things that help those claims.

  • ad revenue per user is garbage on reddit, and forcing third party users into their app is a small number of users.
  • reddit is currently not profitable, likely because they hired a ton of people trying to get more growth that didn't happen.
  • reddit has no good ideas on how to effectively monetize the site, they also have no good concept of who is important for user engagement.
