It's not important if the shareholders can net a specific amount in the short term that makes them happy.
Well, that's the thing. I'm saying as long as he meets a threshold that makes the shareholders/investors happy, then he's competent.
Besides, the "public image" of the website has always been mediocre at best. Maybe 2 levels of quality higher than 4chan.
