      Wall Street investors gave him the money. Him knowing that they would be dumb enough to give it to him is the reason he got it. Which is a weird way of “earning” money but it kind of is.

      Despite our feelings on the company, Wall Street ate that shit up, thus his equity package is worth all that money. Why did Wall Street like Reddit stock so much? I sure don’t fucking know, which is why I never thought to ask them for hundreds of millions of dollars for a company that loses money hand over fist.
