| Dec 14 at 1:46 | comment | added | security_paranoid | Hello @Slate. I am sorry to bother you, as I am sure you are very busy. Firstly, I want to say what others have already: thank you for asking this question; it has been a valuable way for the community to share their opinions. But I am also wondering what you think of my answer, seeing as the community seems to have taken it fairly well. I would greatly appreciate your feedback, criticism, or both, if you have any. Cheers | |

If you can predict profits, then you have a healthy business going. For example the number of ad views over time - that's something concrete you can measure and calculate. The amount of users lost over time because the site is filled with spam... it's a loss of profit sure, but way harder to predict or calculate. | |
| Dec 12 at 7:35 | comment | added | security_paranoid | @starball I agree. Which is why I said I think they care about the key community less; too little. I never said they should forget about the business side of things. I think it needs to more balanced, however, which was basically the whole point of my answer. | |
| Dec 12 at 7:13 | comment | added | starball | I think the company should care about numbers. numbers can represent the platform succeeding in its mission. finding the right numbers to look at and thinking of what to do to sustain and grow them is something I hope the company does. does the company share the same core mission and direction of approach as the original founders and the community? that's the hard hitting question. | |
