The whole component simply known as "the comments" is terrible, my only theory is that someone is paying them to destructively test mice through needless clicks.

My theory is that they are struggling to monetize a website that is extremely expensive to run and the engineering team is either too small or is forced to spend all of their time trying to develop monetization features.

Are there numbers about the money the make? I think gold brings quite a lot. But otherwise I think (and fear) reddit might be a great influencing tool if done correctly.
