You are confused.
You seem to think Reddit Inc wants anything but control over the users. They are not at all interested in discussion or being a social network. If they could achieve their real goal without all the annoying comments, they would shut those off instantly.
Reddit is a narrative pushing machine first and foremost. The money they make on advertising - IS NOT - from the one of two ads you see per page.
The Reddit stock price is not at all reflective of their tech. It’s based on ability to push thoughts to users.
Their annual report, and their advertiser platform doesn’t really back up whatever it is you are implying here.
I would be incredibly surprised to find that reddits officers are willing to risk life ruining fines to lie in their filings about this.
