It is now. It started when Facebook would make a really big deal about their productivity per employee as a way of showing the incredible efficiency of their technology.

I worked at reddit at the time, and we laughed because ours was double Facebook's, despite the fact that we weren't even doing very well. But we also had very few people.

So the calculation doesn't really work at very small numbers, and also doesn't account for expenses.

There's been some talk about how reddit is seriously undervalued, and I'm leaning more towards believing it, now.

I know when I'm looking for an authoritative answer to something I often append 'site:reddit.com' to my search - and I think younger generations are, if anything, moving more in that direction.
