It sounds like people who have absolute pitch are a little worse at relative pitch than normal?

Reddit likely could’ve taken profit in recent years, but was instead focused on growth. Reddit doubled its headcount in 2021. There’s no reason to think that compute is a constraining cost for reddit imo. They produce what is at this point

Well simple logic would say that if they get $.12 per user/month, the costs to serve each user (in terms of compute) is probably below $.12 or else they would be losing money, no?

Yeah, at first I just asked it to respond to the comment, but to put a little stank on it. It was using some outdated terms so I then asked it to only use slang from the last decade and this is what we got. This is stank level 7/10. Yo
