To the extent it doesn't negatively impact the stock price sure but you would agree the CEO and any sort of power-trip they have is ultimately beholden to that right?

My sentiments are fairly similar. In the US at least the middle class was already being hunted to extinction and it seems reasonable. This is just accelerant on that already burnin…

"not always strictly profit maximization." Maybe in the short-term but public companies with shareholders won't allow this in any sort of long-term way right?

Totally agree. When people say "Reddit is mostly bots" I find they're really talking about political subs. Niche/hobby subs are mostly bot-free.

How could they possibly have solved it faster than this? There's no magic to this and it takes time like anything else. Yes there's digital footage but someone has to go through it…
