The company operates a community-based social platform that attracts and retains large-scale user engagement, then monetises attention and data generated on the service. It sells targeted media inventory to advertisers and agencies through a self-serve and managed advertising platform, including native in-feed ads, high-impact takeover formats, and catalogue-based dynamic product ads. This creates value for marketers by enabling interest and community-level targeting and for users by funding free access to the service.

Additional revenue comes from direct-to-consumer subscriptions that provide an ad-free experience and cosmetic perks, and from licensing structured access to its content and data via APIs and enterprise agreements. The firm invests in natural language processing and data infrastructure (including acquisitions) to improve content understanding, moderation, search and monetisation efficiency across ads and data products.
