Judging from the comment thread[1], it looks like that's already happening. The top rated comment starts, "As someone who donated..." And from the second highest comment, 'I will not be "donating" money to a corporation which has shown no real initiative in growing the site.' That said, I think any drama would just be background noise for the vast majority of users. People go to reddit for entertaining links and funny or interesting comments. Drama doesn't threaten that.
