I'm pretty sure the bulk of reddit's costs are the ~1800 employees building things nobody wants, uses, or asked for. Live streaming, chat, avatars and NFTs are all features that should never have been built.

I have a phone from 3 years ago with both an IP68 rating and a headphone jack. There's zero reason that Apple couldn't do the same, they just wanted to convince a lot of people to buy $150 headphones.
