This is the real answer. It was very clear they had no competence to make an app of this scale. It would have collapsed under its own weight before long.

I mean, Reddit was pretty poorly built in the early days prior to getting popular and went down frequently due to load.

It's easy to blame incompetence, but startups are startups and many things are hacked together in a hurry when you're growing fast.
