Google is an advertising company. So it makes sense that their search engine (and youtube) exist as a platform for advertising. It really is that simple. Reddit don't want people to be able to easily find information. They want to make it just easy enough that you wont leave but hard enough that it will take you longer to find what you need. They are all about retention and finding that balance between aggravation and engagement. Twitter is the same.
