yeah, the only problem is that this results in the best talent leaving, you're stuck with people who have nowhere else to go. it's one of those short-term profits kinda things, which is why Wall St loves it so much.

This just means they're a struggling company who needs to cut headcount and want to do it without paying severance
You wish.
If I were a sociopathic billionaire I would love some degree of global warming. The more you make part of the world unliveable, the more I can charge people for living conditions.
I can create bio domes that have clean cool air and charge people to live in there. I've now successfully monetized clean air.
Pretty sure youtube is revenue generating on its own now. Youtube doesn't work as a loss leader because it's so different from all other products.

I'm sure there will be ways around it. Mods can automod-delete every comment, change the rules of the sub to only allow posts of nonsense, or nit moderate at all.
The main problem is that protests don't succeed at reddit because people like moderating for free for some reason. Strangely Reddit has more leverage over mods than mods have over reddit.
