Reddit is the only major social media/aggregator I can think of that actually has to go offline for scheduled maintenance still. I can’t imagine the kind of shitshow it must be internally. Imagine if Facebook or Twitter had to go down regularly for “maintenance”. Heads would roll.

They’re Alexa rank #16 globally - that they’re having trouble monetizing their userbase just means they have absolutely no idea what they’re doing.
That doesn't follow at all. There are all sorts of insanely popular websites which have significant monetization issues (think tumblr, wikipedia). Just because lots of people use something doesn't make them willing to pay for it, and it doesn't make a platform inherently monetizable.

It's interesting to see how it fails. Clearly some users can still post. I'm sure there are things that still work (maybe the phone apps .. got me), but also very clearly, there's a sharp dip in new posts.
