How do you address the concerns of users who feel that Reddit has become increasingly profit-driven and less focused on community engagement?
We’ll continue to be profit-driven until profits arrive. Unlike some of the 3P apps, we are not profitable.

It’s insane to me that a site with as much activity and engagement as Reddit is allegedly “not profitable”. He’s either flat-out lying or they have mismanaged the site to a legendary degree.
Either way, it’s pretty pathetic.
This seems typical for dot com/social/next best thing. They grow at all cost in angel funding. Then cash out.
I think a large portion of the profit losses might have to do with reddit hosting video/images.
