When they said Reddit has 2000 employees I was shocked. what could they possibly do onto a website that is basically run by users (and sysadmins) and that is basically feature-wise mature? I really can’t figure out 2000 people working every day on Reddit… on what? just for a quick comparison, the whole IAmA was run by a single person (Victoria), so… what are they doing?
Upper management is always the issue. Why put all my talented developers to work on improving user experience when I can implement NFT support instead and keep bloating the app?
Lmao they put all their developers on actively making the site worse. They intentionally made the whole desktop experience so shitty so you use their shitty app.
It usually happens when a non-profitable company wants to generate “value” in order to be sold, I’m not sure how they think it’s going to lead to profit though, it’s essentially polishing a turd so investors think it’s valuable.
