    With the amount of AI junk getting published now, it needs to take into account WHO is supporting it, not just that theres 900 AI generated seo pages that agree with each other.

    Reddit has a very hard time making money because they lack good ways to monetize. They can sell ads but ad blockers exist. They cant really require subscriptions or paywalls because people will bounce off that and they know it. They could maybe take donations? But thats not really a buisness model that can make any kinda profit, and i think its fair that they want to make a profit.

    So what do? I dont think third party apps make or break their buisness, but i can absolutly see them being out of other good ideas and trying to make the most out of what they have. Surely theres some mismanagement going on, but thats kinda besides the point of reddit being a giant site that doesn't have great ways to make money.
