The company, which generates its revenue primarily through advertising and also offers premium access for $5.99 per month, has yet to turn a profit
Ya, this seems like a bad investment. And the need to turn a profit will likely lead to a worse and worse user experience as Reddit tries to monetize them.
Al the “disrupt the system” tech is just something that people use because it operates at a lose. The vast majority of the time the changes to turn a profit kill the platform.

spez is using Musk’s Twitter business model. it’s sure to work— just not the way he hopes…
If they can’t make a profit now I’m not sure how they expect to get more and more profits every year / quarter for the investors to pocket.
Especially the worse the AI botting problem will become. Let us hope Lemmy will have good tools and a community to mitigate that.
