  If it was, it was a bad stratagy.

  AI is the only industry that is somehow nonprofitable, without customers, and yet also propping up the economy right now.

      Reddit was doing fine before the influx from Digg. That’s one of the reasons people migrated to reddit in the first place - because it was already viable. That said, it was an influx of users, for sure.

  None of that sounded good.
