"Hey as a social media platform one of your biggest expenses is moderation. Us guys at Business Insider want to give you an opportunity to tell your investors how you plan on lowering that cost." -Business Insider

"Oh great thanks. Well AI would make the labor cost basically 0 and it's super trendy ATM so that." -Reddit cofounder

Let's be real here the goal was never good results it was to get the cost down so low that you no longer care. Probably eliminates some liability too since it's a machine.
