This is literally just the r/nyt subreddit about The New York Times.

Given he apparently takes inspiration from Elon Musk, it's only a matter of time until u/spez starts adding post view limits unless you pay extra.

Amusing thing is a company being unprofitable never seems to be lacking in money to use it as their own personal piggy bank to live lavishly and climb up the wealth rankings. Always get reminded of this scene from Silicon Valley.

Of course it's not, if it was he wouldn't be following the steps of daddy Elon. It's just two like-minded tech-bros who want to turn other people's unpaid contributions into profit for themselves.

That's not the problem. Most in development tech companies aren't in profit mode. The problem for reddit is that they have no way to generate revenue to attract investors
