Why shouldn't he have taken it personally? He got 30 days notice from Reddit that they will change the pricing in a way likely to kill his business? With more advance notice he could have investigated ways to adapt his business or tried to lobby politely for a different pricing model. With this short notice he basically was forced to shut down.
I do not fault Christian at all for taking it personally, Reddit handled it very poorly.

If someone's referring that much traffic to you, choosing to cut them off entirely instead of negotiating monetization of that channel seems irrational. Then to take an adversarial stance against public outcry as well...Reddit really "hates teh fans." Tech leaders really are starting to out themselves as Nouveau Riche Narcissists instead of the visionaries they pretend to be.
