This is pretty uninformed. Users have never, ever made Reddit a cent of profit.
Rhetorical question, where do you think Reddit gets it’s value from. Let me tell you, it’s User Generated Content (or USG for short). Or in other words, stuff that user created, up (and down) voted and user comments.
Do you really think Reddit would even get advertiser money or investment money, if there weren’t any users . Of course not. So who created that data for Reddit to profit from ? Right, that’s the users.
No users == no usecase == no money. It’s that simple.
