When they said Reddit has 2000 employees I was shocked. what could they possibly do onto a website that is basically run by users (and sysadmins) and that is basically feature-wise mature? I really can’t figure out 2000 people working every day on Reddit… on what? just for a quick comparison, the whole IAmA was run by a single person (Victoria), so… what are they doing?
I think their team doubled during COVID too.
What they could have done is you know, actually make things people have to use bot accounts to do, like a barebones calendar to replace remindme, or automod, or integrate RES (seriously, I don’t understand why they used SPA with React and made everything so slow)
