I mean, there was never going to be an ending here where they came out and said, "You know, we've heard you, and more importantly, our VC investors who've given us 1.3 Billion dollars have heard you, and they've told us that your community matters more than their exit."

I'm not suggesting that this kind of timing with Reddit might disrupt one of the largest democratic platforms by converting it into a publicly traded company, but Reddit is definitely giving the same kind of vibes the United States gave when they installed puppet democracies in Latin America.
