I heard their message boards were getting lots of death threat level nasty messages, the mods said it was too much to deal with case by case.
That RIF is fun had a revenue sharing agreement explains why they were able to keep Reddit in front the apps name when other 3rd party apps couldn’t. Corporate Reddit sounds like a nightmare to work with.
