    developers are quite expensive too.even though they don’t have many developers, it can still be a huge spending.

      Reddit as a whole has somewhere around 2k employers (minus 90 after the layoffs)

      That’s a shockingly high number considering how little user facing development there has been

        2k employees at 100k/year for everything would be 200M/year just in compensation. That, plus hosting and all the server costs could put them close to this ad revenue if not slightly over. However, this ad revenue isn’t including things like reddit gold and gifts, I’m curious to see how that factors in.
