      The numbers that matter are $$

      The issues right now probably won’t affect the money for a while

      Mods/users/tools leaving --> quality drop --> usage drop –> $$ drop

        they have bots, AI, and astroturfing, their numbers will be fine despite quality having gone downhill for some time

          Yeah, for a while corpos have their finger into astroturfing the shit out of almost every product. At some point it will have barely any user, but bots and corpo accounts.

          They were already doing fuck-all in terms of ad money.

          They made over half a billion in revenue last year, most of it from ad money. The problem is that spez keeps bleeding that money chasing pipe dreams like reddit crypto and reddit NFTs.
