What are 2000 employees doing at Reddit?

When they said Reddit has 2000 employees I was shocked. what could they possibly do onto a website that is basically run by users (and sysadmins) and that is basically feature-wise mature? I really can’t figure out 2000 people working every day on Reddit… on what? just for a quick comparison, the whole IAmA was run by a single person (Victoria), so… what are they doing?

Spotify has more than 8000 employees. I can't fathom what they could possibly contribute to the product.

But spotify works on pretty much any device out there, it has a pretty good UI and works fairly well overall, so we can at least see where some of their effort is going

Unfortunately that wasn't my experience with Spotify about a year ago. Samsung note 9, galaxy watch 3, galaxy buds pro, and their subscription. It was rough to get music to play and keep playing. It wouldn't pause either. I looked online and plenty of other people had these issues.
