    Yeah, I saw that article too but it’s misleading. According to the S1 filed with the SEC, spez’s current base pay is $450,000; in 2023 he received about $792,000 in performance-based cash bonus. The rest of that 193 million is options. It’s not the reason reddit isn’t profitable.

      That motherfucker for 800k for THAT performance last year? I’ve never seen a blow up like he oversaw…how the fuck does that get you a bonus?

        There was no blowup, Reddit both received more funding and their advertising earnings increased. A 21% revenue growth in 2023, I’d say also active user growth but I’m not entirely sure.

        He’s paid to be the face that everyone blames.

      Could you elaborate on that for someone who has no clue about stock market stuff?

        He’s mostly being paid in something that has potential value that he won’t be allowed to sell in large enough quantities to have any real value.
