Or for Google to buy it.
They could monetize it much better while being less annoying.
Ultimately - Google is getting everything they want from Reddit with this deal without having to buy it outright.
Short of Reddit transforming to an entirely different product (difficult) - I'm not sure where the major growth opportunity is for it.
It wouldn't be the first time they have done something like this either. Remember https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Groups ?

It'd be somewhat hilarious if google bought reddit just to archive it and shut it down.
