Yeah, I saw that article too but it’s misleading. According to the S1 filed with the SEC, spez’s current base pay is $450,000; in 2023 he received about $792,000 in performance-based cash bonus. The rest of that 193 million is options. It’s not the reason reddit isn’t profitable.
There was no blowup, Reddit both received more funding and their advertising earnings increased. A 21% revenue growth in 2023, I'd say also active user growth but I'm not entirely sure.
Ah it’s one of these things that they probably could be profitable, and certainly their almost billion in sales per year is healthy
It’s worth remembering that corps pay no taxes if they spend more than they earn. VCs will often be happy to cover that shortfall with the idea of a big sale later. So nobody pays taxes and then eventually they sell or IPO for big bucks and roll that into more investments. The economy keeps on pumping
