I think it's also just a bit too obvious, even for the slower members of the pack, that this is nothing more or less than an attempted exit with a big payday. I suspect that Reddit has no real answer to the problems of how to be ad-friendly with a hostile user-base. I suspect that Reddit is aware it has no profitability in its future, and with the rising number of bots and bad actors dominating the place, it may not even have a future. Calling it a lemon is right on the nose, and no one is more aware of what a barely-polished turd Reddit has become than its power users.
