They make a lot more than does the little outfit I work for and we manage it.

How much does reddit make, I wouldn't be surprised if it operates at a loss.

It definitely does, just like so many VC funded companies, but they could afford to fix their deploys. The reddit back end is notoriously bad and, judging by their new UI, it isn't getting better.

What's the point of making a site reliable if it costs you money to operate? Their strategy is totally different from a Twitter or facebook. All their cycles are busy trying to figure out how to turn a profit.

And the new ui is trash.
