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.

    Agreed, I don’t know why Reddit is pushing to go public. Personally I don’t see the value in a business that admits that they aren’t profitable, but that raises the question if they aren’t making money how as Reddit operated for so long? The upside to them going public is that they’ll have to start publishing financial statements and we’ll get to just how much money the “unprofitable” business is making.

      I think it’s probably being pushed by the people who invested in Reddit to make it go public so they can sell shares / cash out. But this is just my opinion
