Thing that was the most upsetting was the absolute refusal to accept any bit of responsibility or admit what they were doing. I think we can all appreciate the cost of running a huge service like Reddit, but in no way does that require them to do what they did.

If anything, I am shocked they didn't attempt to do something like require users who use third party apps to be paying for Reddit Premium or whatever it's called. AFAIK there are no ads displayed if you're a subscriber? So there wouldn't have been a big difference in revenue there.

Agreed. Offsetting the cost of the service, including supporting moderators, was necessary. Trying to launch IPO and exploiting user content and moderators to turn a profit, not necessary.
