If you have found Reddit policies have been unpopular lately, they’re gonna get much worse when investors want increasing value.

Reddit already has investors, Chinese censorship champion Tencent among others. I don't see what public ownership could do that would make things worse than they already are. See for example: https://www.theverge.com/2016/11/23/13739026/reddit-ceo-stev...

This seems like they're cashing out. They were never able to properly monetize the site for whatever reason, now they're pushing their shares off to anyone naive enough to buy into it. I'd stay far far away.

I’m very late to this reply, but, a private investor is not the same as being a public company.
