No matter where your personal beliefs put you on the subject, Reddit has been taking a lot more interest in the quality and nature of its content lately. This means subreddit bans, shadow bans, and similar activity. I wonder if this will see an increase once Reddit has complete control and monitoring over its Image hosting. It also opens them up to DMCA and other complaints.
From an engineering perspective Reddit had frequent crashes and severe lag for years. They've improved a lot in the past two, and seeing them confident enough to launch a service like this says something about their progress in that regard. However I could see it be a complete flop as well. Time will tell.
