eventually it’ll run dry - because the contributors are leaving the site
I somewhat disagree… you haven’t considered the increased incentive for occasional posters to become more regular contributors as existing contributors leave.
As the volume of contributions reduces, each contribution is more likely to garner engagement - those sweet sweet endorphins released when someone upvotes or otherwise engages with your post.
Even if it does, it doesn’t really matter if Reddit can’t become profitable.
It doesn’t really matter what we think but what the shitty capitalists bearing down on Reddit think. They clearly pushed for it to move into crypto and NFTs and I wouldn’t doubt if they push it to chase the next hype of AI. I wouldn’t doubt if the restrictions in the API are AI related and Reddit has lots of archived comments and posts to draw from.
Completely agree. They want to have a big IPO and are trying to latch onto any shitty hype scheme to make Reddit look as profitable as possible. They would never be happy with the company just keeping the lights on, they want massive ROI and they don’t care how.

I’m sure they could’ve already been profitable a long time ago if they hadn’t 1400 employees or something and creating NFTs and shit.
