And they don’t seem to care that much about making money! The company seems like it would be an advertising machine but their revenue doesn’t even hit 500 million in a single year. Not sure what their net income looks like but there’s just so much potential in one site with very little actual money making going on it seems. I guess their aim isn’t entirely to grow but with 50 million DAUS and being a very reliable source of info after wikipedia (so much so that Google search users concat “reddit” right after their query) it would seem like they would have many more people running the show. Probably have many investors trying to make them dive into some crazy ambitious venture driven by greed but they haven’t quite succumbed to it. It’s a good site, and has been for like 13 years now with the same format? I guess they do experiment here and there with live videos and web3 but even those don’t seem to be profit driven. Honestly seems like a miracle “engineering first” company in the age of obsession over hyper-growth. 230K
We know - it’s why we’re still hiring despite the economic climate
Can you pay 500k atleast?
Can i dm for referral
They only need 1000 employees because it doesn't take much to run a simple message board and subreddit mods work for free unlike Twitter, Snap, etc which need massive content moderation teams. It certainly creates no opportunity for political parties, corporate interests, or others seeking influence to place and pay mods who have almost no oversight from reddit. The twitter files have been bad but what everyone probably expected, I imagine the political motivations on reddit is even more pervasive and what happens behind the scenes on Wikipedia is probably appalling
This. Reddit is the most extreme echo chamber you’ll see.
Wikipedia has frequent editing wars on political pages.
Why is it crazy? They don’t link identity at all - just an email - they don’t have to deal half the compliance bs that meta has to put up with . On top of that - it’s a scrolling message board .
Yeah, craigslist too I've heard has a handful only. Crazy right?
It’s actually crazy to think other social media companies have many times more than that.
And they didn't want me :[
@Snowflake, mind referring?
They lost you bro, you'll get something better :)
Their revenue isnt even 500million? And 10b valuation. No wonder they are hiring
Google should just buy it so that they can keep Reddit's search crippled and people have to go through Google search.
Hope regulators wont let that happen
It’s not crazy at all. Their service is very simple. Its just a message board.
It has features like live comments for sports subs
Ok, +1 employee for this feature.
