From The Guardian's article on this:

The Red Bull team principal, Christian Horner, said at the British Grand Prix that the team were still committed to Pérez. “He’s the type of guy that just needs an arm around his shoulder and you work with him,” he said. Tellingly, in 2020, Horner said of Albon, then also struggling at Red Bull: “We need to be patient with him and we’ll put an arm around his shoulder and make sure he feels he’s got the support.” Albon was replaced at the end of the season by Pérez.

There may be some complexity with legality here though. Obviously Google and other search engines already have most of Reddit's content indexed, but there are some legal arguments as to whether they can use the content to create derivative works.

If Reddit opens up its API and specifically allows AI companies to use the content to create LLMs and other AI tools then from a legal point of view they may find this much more preferable to facing potential legal action further down the road.

Reddit makes $350m a year in advertising revenue, it is in theory a fantastically successful business that could make plenty of profit for its shareholders.

The problem is solely down to them raising more and more capital the latest at a $10B valuation. Because of this they need to increase the revenue even further to try and justify the inflated valuation and that is what has led to the latest situation.

I'd nominate Bjork: All is Full of Love.

It it written using Symfony which is an extremely solid enterprise framework modeled on Java Spring.

PHP powers the majority of the web still and also has one of the largest development communities, proof of this usefulness is how many contributions have been made in the last few days: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls

In the long run it will probably be a great advantage to Kbin to be written in PHP and for anyone who hasn't seen the latest versions of PHP go look at the source code and have a look at all the recent improvements to the language.

I'd probably say the three most likely are Alonso, Hamilton and Leclerc. But will probably need a good/bad luck contribution from the weather or Red Bull.

It makes sense to do it that way otherwise everyone would see an empty page when they first signed up.

At least this way you can use the home page for discovery initially and once that gets too noisy use /sub as your homepage.

If you click through to some of the ones that indicate still public you can see they have gone into read-only mode rather than completely private.
