WE HAD A GOOD THING YOU STUPID SON OF A BITCH!

We had 3PA's, we had all the free labor in the world, just from passionate people who wanted to share the things they love, we had bots to fight spam, and extremely talented developers who made your stupid website work on mobile. It all ran like clockwork, if you could have just shut your mouth we'd all be fine right now.

But no, you just had to blow it up. YOU, AND YOUR GREED AND YOUR EGO.

Fuck u/spez

I am unsure how many ppl they had employed. I read they let go of 5% of the developers. So I guess a lot of money is put there. But I am unsure how much they work on stuff that we as users can see. Growing a business cost a lot of money so much that most just sell their company (merge) so an other company can help out with that who have already grown and got the money. I heard they wanted to go public, so I guess there will be an other meme stock soon ๐Ÿ˜‚

I am fine with them asking for money but they should ask for something that makes sense not so much so in a year it would cost 20M...

At some point last year they had 1400 employees. One thousand fucking four hundred.
For a link aggregation site.

Holly shit!!! That is a lot! How were they even able to have so many ppl? I thought they were max 50 maybe even only 20 lol
