Tumblr went from selling for $1B in 2013 to $3M in 2019. The brand persists but as a business it's a dismal failure. If Reddit follows that arc it will be a dismal failure as well.
- tut-urut-utut 3y agoWhy should we care if it’s financial failure for its owners as long as it brings the same value to its users?
- tirpen 3y agoIf it's too much of a financial failure, it will shut down and provide zero value to its users.
