I don't see you refuted anything, they still have infra for lots of data with search and recommendation, bootstrapped content and communities and generate good chunk of revenue, and reaching this point will take good amount of effort for rivals.
Search? Reddit search is so bad it’s practically a meme. They only added the ability to search within comments (y’know, like 90% of the site) _this year_.

Do you mean when the founders (including current CEO) posted as a bunch of fake users to create the illusion that it was popular?

How is possible if Reddit has never been profitable/reached breakeven?
