    IIUC reddit said something along the lines of “we shouldn’t be unprofitable while third party apps are profitable.”

    They did, ignoring the fact that the scales are completely different and the fact that the 3PAs helped mods and engaged, contributing members provide content and services that Reddit didn’t have to pay for, thereby mitigating or maybe even completely counterbalancing the costs of supporting them.

      Agreed. I just tried to state what they said - in my defense i never said that what they said made sense because as you just said it doesn’t really make sense.
