Literally this… what is happening in Reddit is the CEO attending the needs of the shareholder via the board… companies aren’t the “sisters of charity”. They are where they are for profit and at the very least they need to have a cash flow that allow them to pay employees and bills. There are some B Corps out there, but most of the companies are there to make the big buck.
In the case of Reddit we users are just a product that they try to keep to make the company profitable selling ads or whatever.
If you want a Reddit-kind-of platform user-centric we need to pay for it and become the customers instead the product.
