What are 2000 employees doing at Reddit? - Feddit.it

When they said Reddit has 2000 employees I was shocked. what could they possibly do onto a website that is basically run by users (and sysadmins) and that is basically feature-wise mature? I really can’t figure out 2000 people working every day on Reddit… on what? just for a quick comparison, the whole IAmA was run by a single person (Victoria), so… what are they doing?

And yet Apollo was made by one guy and it’s far better than anything they’ve made

I mean, the complexity of an iOS app is nothing against running one of the world's largest websites...

And not even one of those 2,000 employees could put in any effort whatsoever?

It's made bad on purpose because you aren't the customer, you're the product

Yeah but isn’t it a better product when people are forming positive associations with the brand being advertised because it’s being displayed on an app that works well?

No? Because litterally the only people paying reddit are advertisers
