You do make good points, I suppose all of the acquisitions they have made over the past number of years add up, in addition to entertaining foolish dead ends like blockchain integration and essentially anything Ryan X Cohen had to say. That said Elon Musk has not acquired reddit, and thus did not cut it to the bone similarly to Twitter. Had that happened perhaps it would be down somewhere around 500 staff. Which still feels subjectively about sufficient for what the product does. But I suppose one of the enduring realities of tech hiring, or any corporate hiring is that above a certain size people's careers are not advanced by managing small, tightly run and efficient teams but rather by sitting atop as bloated a pyramidal hierarchy as possible, with a budget to match.
