View submission: Sunsetting Secret Santa and Reddit Gifts
I hate the answer, but it's because I hate the question.
Of course it's because of money. The real question should be, what in the data and overall company philosophy dictates that Reddit Gifts would be a bad investment?
So, "why not hire someone" = "because it would shift away our financial focus, someone we pay for Reddit Gift means someone we can't pay somewhere else" which wouldn't answer anything.
What I want to know /u/KeyserSosa, is what in the data shows that focusing on Reddit Gifts would be a bad investment of time/money? What is it in the company philosophy of Reddit that Reddit Gifts clashes against compared to other avenues?

Like every other company that does shit like this, they don't actually have data showing that. Most of these companies lie through their teeth about what data they have.
I'd bet 500$ no analysis was done on this decision. He'it was made by a ghoul in a suit and dumped on people below them to "sell"
The company is nothing but liars and people with no future anywhere but reddit.

Is every company in the US literally only focused on money? I’m fairly certain things weren’t like this in Europe.
