Question that might be outside your experience, but I own some land in the Rockies that was clear cut at some point in the last thirty years. If I did absolutely nothing with it, how long until it turned back into Forest?

Everything you said is accurate and can be summed up as “investors should have no faith in Huffman at the helm”, which is enough to tank a growth stock like Reddit is supposed to be. Quite honestly, as someone who has done deep value invest
