If you tasked a team to build a reddit clone and nothing else the only problem would be scaling and paying an aws bill (for decades at loss)

  Having scaling problems and a big AWS bill is the consequences of success, though. I'm pretty sure the team would consider that a win.

    That's where Reddit is at right now, they make no profit. You think u/spez would piss off the entire site for no reason? They desperately need profit

      They also went from 700 employees to 2000 employees because they took VC money and have to grow grow grow. I'm sure one could make a sustainable business out of Reddit but nobody wants just a sustainable business.

      Reddit makes no profit because it needs about 100 devs and support staff if we're being generous and they've hired over a thousand.
