Research and development, at $438.3 million

What in the fuck has Reddit developed in the last year that cost half a billion fucking dollars?

Remember when they killed API access claiming it cost the 10s of millions each year? Turns out they could have just not spent so much on reddit avatars and we'd all still be there today.
