    They lost 93 million on 2023, and paid the CEO more than double that.

    Nope - can’t think of a single thing they could do to make reddit profitable.

      Well kinda but not really, he owns around 4% of Reddit which is where the $193m comes from because of the $5b valuation.

      They paid him just shy of 400k. The stock and options he was given have nothing to do with reported losses. It’s all monopoly money until IPO, them we’ll see what it’s worth.

        Paying yourself 190 million in stock options when the company is running at a loss is pretty much blatantly admitting that the company is severely overvalued. My guess is that it will tank 90% once it goes public. If not more, Reddit produces nothing inherent of value and they are really hostile to their users.
