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.

They would have to show their books as part of an IPO anyway, and everyone already knows its not profitable. It's not like he accidentally dropped a big secret here.
