Makes no difference one way or the other. Reddit will slowly die over the coming months and years, much like previous social media sites have done. It's over as soon as they want to IPO. There are good, valid reasons to sometimes go against the immediate,higher-profit choice. And sometimes that reason is not alienating your user base by insulting their shared culture. Because doing something like that will get you higher profits now, but will represent diminishing returns later.
It's over for reddit, they just don't know it yet.
