The cost of money is now higher than it was at the time Reddit was founded. The entire social media era is built on top of Great Recession monetary policy, and that policy is now done. These investors want to cash out, and they want to cash out now.
Bingo. He’s following a WELL KNOWN playbook of making the company both leaner in terms of expenses, and trying to add revenue, with zero care about long term viability of the company.

EVERYTHING he’s doing is logical when you look at it in that sense, they are throwing a coat of wax on a used lemon to dump it on some unsuspecting suckers for a profit.
