It would probably be profitable if they didn’t employ 2000 people to run what is in essence a large but relatively basic forum system.

It's still not an absurdly profitable venture even if you drop head count to 300-500 which is likely a reasonable number. A lot of people could have good careers in that smaller reddit, but it's not a multi-billion dollar unicorn.

That still seems high for what Reddit is. I would have expected them to have 50-100 employees at most.
