How do you address the concerns of users who feel that Reddit has become increasingly profit-driven and less focused on community engagement?

We’ll continue to be profit-driven until profits arrive. Unlike some of the 3P apps, we are not profitable.

Maybe fix your product before you expect the money to come pouring in.

wal-mart is profitable and they at least pay workers minimum wage. u/spaz can't make a profit when unpaid mods do most of the work for them. Not a very good CEO

That would require reddit to make good decisions, which they've repeatedly demonstrated is impossible

It's not impossible, they've just chosen not to. That says more than any AMA
