I remember with discussions about another site, people noted that Reddit only has a headcount of around 700 (perhaps a bit more now, looks like that figure was a couple of years ago). Some of those are going to be non-technical roles as well (HR, ads, management etc. etc.). So could it be they're just a bit too small staffed for the scale of site they're running, and just don't have enough people working on the basic "site should not fall over" type foundational issues? Kind of the reverse of the stereotypical bloated social media companies?
