He means the business model they're going for with the IPO.

Growth means the value of the company. The shares. The stockholders getting dividends. It has fuck all to with user experience, or even user growth. It's about manipulating information and using clever accounting to get investors to give you money.

The company is worth fuck all if their sole “money generation” process is via user data and authentic conversation.
Users ARE Reddit.
No content, no value.
No value? No dividends.
