They also mistake the traffic stats for /r/AskReddit as being traffic for all of Reddit:

> According to a source close to the moderation process at Reddit, the climate there is far worse. Despite the site’s size and influence — attracting some 4 to 5 million page views a day[1] — Reddit has a full-time staff of only around 75 people, leaving Redditors to largely police themselves

> last month, reddit had 243,632,148 unique visitors hailing from over 212 different countries viewing a total of 8,137,128,592 pages

Which is about 270 million page views per day.

Given that they don't have a large marketing team, 75 people would be a huge team to deal with 4 to 5 million page views
