Have you ever had potential-sponsors request ownership of certain subreddits (for $, if it comes down to it)? I understand for big subreddits that wouldn't make sense (e.g., userbase would not take it kindly if r/funny was just bought (i.e. made ruling moderator of r/funny) one day by some media company). But I'm curious what would be the result of, say, the bicycling company Trek trying to become owners of the r/bicycles subreddit.

However, a sponsor will never have control over the content (unless they manage to get someone on the moderator list I suppose, but they could do that regardless of sponsorship status).
