File under CaptainObvious. Why do people act so surprised about this stuff? Reddit is no different than any corporation. It's a huge busines and huge businesses do not care about their employees or customers. They say they do for PR purposes, but the reality is that they only care about money.
In Reddits case they are gearing up for their IPO so they are also putting a spin on the situation to give the share holders more confidence. In the end though only they know the real numbers. Bottom line is that people need to stop acting like these companies owe them something or care about them. This isn't a mom and pop donut shop down the street.
It's a business that almost completely depends on the users and moderators. Pissing them of is just a bad decision from business perspective alone.
It's one of those things that shouldn't ever happen, because who wants the consequences? But seem to happen every single time.
