Quiet falls around the boardroom table. One analyst breaks the silence. "Well, you see, you have investors now. And, well, they've kind of noticed that quality of your content is contrastically downhill over the past couple of years". An unnamed C staffer blurts out "I told you getting rid of reddit gold was a bad idea, let's just break it back and everyone will come back and contribute again!"
