Playing devils advocate, I suppose some companies have an extremely tight window where they rely on that last 3% after costs…I believe grocery stores operate like this…but reddit is not a food store, and I don’t know wth I’m talking about. (:
Don’t get me wrong, reddit has been the worst for about 10-12 years now and keeps getting worse every year, but as long as we’re talking about this mysterious 3%.
How much traffic does that 3% account for? That’s the real metric. I assume it’s more than the avg user.
Also, what is an avg user? Someone that just wants a crowd-sourced opinion once a month is not. Is it someone that just looks at the front page and moves on? Does the avg user post? Do they lurk? Surely they’re not mods.
I realize all these questions are moot, as reddit has been utter garbage since a little before fatpeoplehate got taken down.
It is, but pissing off the content creators (core of the business) is NOT the way to go.

It makes sense that they generate more traffic than the average user.
It’s also us that generate the content they’re selling.
