If it was just about maintenance costs, that would be easy. By being public, Twitter and Reddit will need to always grow revenue, every year they are expected to bring in more money than the previous. Stable and sufficient are not good enough, it will always need to be more. And that's how these apps get shitty.
I'm genuinely curious what the maintenance costs really are. I'm also wondering about equitable ways to share that cost.
