IPO = exit liquidity
Spez truly got that little dick energy going on
I take offense to this. I have a little dick. I don't destroy everything for everyone around me while shitting myself violently. I say he has Caillou energy. Arrogant, narcissistic, hideous, an abject freak, a mistake granted legs and will hopefully suffer from a terminal illness.
Fuck Caillou. Fuck Steve Greedy Pig Boy Spez Huffman
The more I see you post, the more I like you.
That's an insult little dick energy
They lost 93 million on 2023, and paid the CEO more than double that.
Nope - can't think of a single thing they could do to make reddit profitable.
Well kinda but not really, he owns around 4% of Reddit which is where the $193m comes from because of the $5b valuation.
Still, fuck spez
They paid him just shy of 400k. The stock and options he was given have nothing to do with reported losses. It's all monopoly money until IPO, them we'll see what it's worth.
Paying yourself 190 million in stock options when the company is running at a loss is pretty much blatantly admitting that the company is severely overvalued. My guess is that it will tank 90% once it goes public. If not more, Reddit produces nothing inherent of value and they are really hostile to their users.
He wasn't paid that amount. He got 341,000 in cash and the rest was in stocks and options (which will only be worth that much if the company performs well financially). This us place is just like Reddit, nobody ever reads the article.
It doesn't really need to perform well financially. He can sell everything as soon as it goes public and retire
But they never do that. Musk could have been supping margaritas on a man made island with oompa loompas in a private ocean a long time ago
Oompa-loompas are extinct. He needs enough money to clone them from mosquitos trapped in amber.
Unable to delete so editing instead. Leaving Lemmy.world due to privacy concerns.
This place is also just like reddit in that comments like yours seeking to seem smarter than everyone else by pointing out technicalities in the article as evidence everyone has the wrong idea, without appreciating the full context, and deliberately ignoring the overall point.
Executives paid in stocks and options are completely normal, and those stock options have a value. Moreover, those things were not given to other employees nearly as much as they were given to the CEO.
The actual dollar amount he receives from Reddit is not what matters. What matters is the amount of compensation given to him in comparison to everyone else at Reddit and to other CEOs at other companies, especially when taking his performance into account.
The point is Reddit is effectively giving way too much of its value to one person who has done little to actually make it profitable in all the time he's been there while routinely making mistakes and allowing scandals that have hurt Reddit's reputation.
The context is important since it informs us about why he's doing this, which is probably to further inflate his stock value
But also Tim Cook's total compensation for 2022 was $99 million and Satya Nadella's 2023 was $48 million. Paying him more than CEOs of actually profitable companies and what amounts to nearly 1/4 of revenue is a pretty big outlier.
Honestly, I'm kinda looking forward to the IPO - because it might be the last enshittification straw that breaks the camel's neck that will finally drown reddit for what it has become.
So why does your CEO get paid quarter of a billion a year if they had to hike their APIs unreasonably and kill all 3rd party apps because "reddit wasn't profitable" despite not paying a dime to the mods running their website niether to contribitors, posters nor users ?!?! Reddit is scummier than Uber
While cutting off reddit apps that are better than the bloated shitshow that is the reddit app
Most of that money is in stock, so he's doing this to further inflate his stock value
So my 16 year account with 90k legit comment karma wasnt good enough to be invited?
Now I dont get to early participate in the fomo panic IPO being forced by investors?
I could've made or lost tens of dollars.
What's next? Reddit Coin? NFTs?
Doesn't reddit already have NFTs?
They also do have a reddit vault for crypto
Maybe Shoes..
Should have marked self harm/suicide
This is such an amazing grift. I can't wait until more social media firms start trying to direct-market their stock to their user base.
No way this can backfire
The loss porn will be great material for WallsStreetBets
That little "tldr" at the beginning of that text wall makes me feel gross
And they don't even let you report it as the spam it is.
Ironic that reddit goes the way of digg.
How do I buy puts on this?
CBOE will create options for it pretty soon after IPO, probably that week or the next. You'll definitely be able to buy puts on it before you'll be allowed to short sell it.
tldr: this will let you save money while you lose money
