I mean they gotta show face for the investors for being "open" and "friendly" to the community.

Ah, got it. It's a really bad way to do this though - they're also showing that the userbase is pissed, and has become a wasp hive towards Reddit. This sort of user is bad news when you're an investor, as it'll try to boycott your platform from the inside.

Honestly I'm just guessing, I have no idea what in the fresh hell they are trying to do. Best case scenario, it becomes a cash grab insta copy. Worst case scenario, the users migrate to other platforms. Rage for them is still engagement, and they probs cross their fingers thinking it will all blow over.

I'm also guessing, and also got no idea on what they're trying to do. In a few situations it looks like they're actively trying to shoot their own feet and ruin the IPO, and in some (like this one) they're doing things that look good on paper but awful in practice.
