Yes, Reddit is not even part of a publicly listed company that has investor pressure to meet quarterly numbers, it is privately owned by the Newhouse family. People just like having more money than less money.

I think reddit is majority owned by Reddit employees.
As of Jul 2015, per Wired article:

>Advance Publications, is Reddit's majority shareholder

The lack of ownership transparency is an absolute failure. Reddit should not have been for profit anyway
