He gifted himself a ludicrous $193 million compensation package.

Reddit, a 20-year-old company, has yet to turn a profit. In 2023, the platform lost a whopping $90.8 million.

Can someone explain to me how reddit can make a loss, while he pays himself MORE than the loss? Does that not mean that reddit would have made a 113 Million profit before his $193 million compensation package? What kind of business-algebra-gymnastics is at work here?

Ok guys, i dont want to sound like a conspiricy theorist or anything, but sometimes i get a slight suspicion that he might be lying to make himself look better...

Hintergrund: Ich arbeite an einer app in welcher ich nutzeraccounts anlegen muss, und dafuer wuerde ich den nutzern die moeglichkeit "einloggen via google/apple/microsoft... account" anbieten. Soweit kein problem, nur welche anderen seiten sind derzeit beliebt und gern genutzt?

Zur auswahl stehen diese anbieter hier https://socialiteproviders.com/ , links an der spalte platform - weiter unten gibt es noch die kategorien "gaming", "education", "music" die vielleicht noch interressant sein koennten. Ich will/kann jetzt nicht alle anbieter einbinden, sondern will mich auf die 5-10 wichtigsten beschraenken die fuer nutzer aus deutschland zwischen 15 und 35 auch relevant sind. Welche anbieter nutzt ihr selbst regelmaessig?

And you give away the press for free, but the ink will cost a fortune!

Things to add to your product when you want to look hip and trendy, but dont have any real ideas how to make your product better:

  • 1990s: visitor counter
  • 1995: Popups
  • 2000s: flash intros
  • 2005: stock photography
  • 2010: local weather widget
  • 2015: share to social media widgets
  • 2020: fullsize 4k background stock videos
  • 2024: AI assistant

That's why everything is an App now, and every website tells you "it's better in the app". In the app they have full controll over your device and can access much more data points, while the website is controlled on the users site and might have AdBlockers and other security features enabled, potentially hurting their ad revenue and data they can sell. From a developers perspective it's a nightmare to develop and maintain website, android and Mac os app side by side. Just having one good responsive website is cheaper, easier to maintain and gives you less headache with app store restrictions, reviews, device incompatibility etc.

Lol, now that I think of it I had never seen a YouTube ad or sponsor where I would say "this is an ethical and fairly priced product without a catch that I would like to buy"...

Zombie outbreak and owning a jeep? Now you got two problems!

Have you seen that ludicrous display last night?

Can someone explain how this website lost millions? Given that this size was not that big, I fail to see how it could cost this much in admin and Server cost. Even some better known commercial shops will hardly hit 5digits in monthly server costs, plus salaries for 1-3 admins and support staff, and maybe advertising costs.

37million sounds like something they pulled out of thin air, maybe for some bookkeeping fraud or tax write off...

How much would it cost to show 2girls1cup as umskipable ad to musk fanboys? Asking for a friend...

My favorite barber was booked out recently, so I just walked into the next one across the road, which looked new and had no customers inside. Asked for the haircut, and he said sure, what's your name and email address? I was confused and asked why he would need that, and he said it's for his app to book appointments and charge customers.

I walked out without getting a haircut.
