It’s not just Apollo: other Reddit apps are shutting down, too

There was a response on the AMA where u/spez said "Reddit would always be profit driven and currently does not make a profit. Unlike TP apps"

You can no longer see this on the Reddit app, it is obscured in someway. Perhaps because of the potential impact for the IPO?

He is essentially saying, "we are unable to make a profit, so our plan is to use someone else's profit to make money."

What I think he's going for is sympathy points, but he did not read that back lol

I think at point it’s the sole goal of Reddit to pump their ad revenue numbers until the IPO.
