As a side note, I remember the days when Reddit had to beg the community to bail them out as they were at risk of being canned from their corporate owner's disinterest: https://techcrunch.com/2010/07/10/reddit-gold/ https://techcrunch.com/2010/07/10/reddit-gold/ By all accounts, it was very successful and saved the site, also leaving them resourced enough (including in hardware resources) to embrace the userbase from the imploding digg. I think it's clear Reddit's current leadership have forgotten how the userbase stepped in for them in the past.
