I'm not surprised, really. Even from the perspective of a user, Reddit is a very poorly run site which offers very little incentive other than community goodwill to really invest money into it. This is particularly evident with the handful of useless crap given to Reddit Gold subscribers but then subsequently given to all users once a few feature is rolled out.

The admins tend to say one thing then do something completely different the next minute. Some of these things have been their double-standards when it comes to their free speech policies, particularly towards banning subreddits that have made them look bad in the media while leaving other identical subreddits intact.

They also went on a major vendetta against vote manipulators. The worst example of their batshit insane policies was when a female artist whose artwork was stolen from her by Anita Sarkeesian got shadowbanned from Reddit all because she linked to one of her posts on Twitter and asked her followers to upvote. No warning, no indication of what she did wrong. Just fucking banned.
